Jeff mentioned an interactive game they let him play with it where stuff came out of the walls and he was ducking and moving around to shoot the stuff, which he said was fun. That demo was interactive.

I'd have to rewatch the video. I only recall Brad saying the hand thing with the waypoint, which he said made sense since waypoints go through stuff in Halo as well; so i'd have to hear another instance of that to know if it's a universal thing or was just for that one Halo demonstration on purpose. I feel like Jeff and Brad are skeptical enough (they voice skepticism during the conference) to where they'd have tried to break it and the illusion when they got the demo. The fact that both and Dan were very impressed makes me believe it a bit, I have no reason to assume MS is using all smoke and mirrors until there's proof.

It isn't all smoke and mirrors, they're just greatly exaggerating what the device can do and how it performs. I don't see how they've earned the benefit of the doubt here when the stage demo is just demonstrably not how the hololens works. It can still be impressive while not being capable of anything near like what they are setting people up to believe it can do.

Jeff literally followed up all that praise with "but the FOV isn't shippable"

Kudo said they're shipping with roughly that FOV. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Come on, are you being serious here? If you rely on anything outside of yourself for self-validation then yeah, you have issues. Who cares if some random person doesn't like you? You may care if a friend or family member says something, although even then I would argue it shouldn't matter, but some random person? Come one, that shouldn't impact you at all.

I don't see a problem with that, I also don't see why you can't just keep it to yourself.

If you like someone just keep it to yourself, how's that for a revolutionary idea? Regardless of whether or not it is a person, game, political belief and so on it will offend someone.

I have an idea, let's not give opinions so that we don't offend anyone. Or maybe, you know, we can have a discussion about it without resorting to personal attacks and passive aggressive posts letting someone know that they have been ignored.

I'm in a 'wait and see' mode. The people I've heard speak about it (again, limited research) have said that besides the fov it works as advertised, including Jeff. I have no reason to doubt them at the moment, you're the only person i've really seen saying that a lot of it is exaggerated and doesn't work as advertised which is fine! You may be totally correct, but what you're saying goes against what the others are saying and I'm just siding with them until I see proof otherwise.

Yeah i'm not sure there's huge consumer applications yet. Will be interesting to see if devs can take advantage of it (gaming or not)
