The video is obviously a big fat lie, but maybe the display technology will reach that level sometime in the future

http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/21/microsoft-hololens-hands-on/

"In practice, the resolution is sharp but the field of view is extremely limited."
"The bigger issue for me was that the image was relatively transparent, which often made things look less than real."

So it's kinda like google glass but in stereo 3d with better head tracking. I'm not sure how you'd make the AR graphics completely opaque, that seems like a really difficult engineering problem. Maybe if you used a DLP chip with micromirrors you could build the optics so that they switched each pixel between being transparent or redirected to a display. Otherwise you could never overlay darker graphics on the real world, it would all look like washed out star wars holograms

TLDR lol microsoft

I'm wondering a couple of things. Like if you have a big minecraft living room, wouldn't you need to have something on the table or the wall so that the device knows where it should keep things? Like does it know what room of the house you're in so it always puts the minecraft house on the table in the same spot and same direction every time?

Also, I know gesture control is getting much better but I'm having a hard time understanding how you just reach out and grab something without having some kind of glove or something? Or am I just way out my depth here?

You just need some kind of marker. It doesn't have to be something specific and I bet current software is already pretty good at picking the markers by itself.

Lol Why does everyone keep saying 'ya his haircut isn't great but he's gay!' It's still hilariously bad and screams 'I'm the hip young new face of Microsoft (except I'm actually old and I've got the board tricked)'

Hell, if you're going to stereotype him being gay that means he should be even more aware of his tacky weird haircut for 14 year old Japanese girls.

Also they missed the opportunity to call this the Halo.
