This lets you experience scenes that are a bit more complex than the ones that you can live on Microsoft’s device; The field of view is 40° Horizontal and 30° Vertical. Furthermore, it is not something original to Magic Leap, since I’ve seen Microsoft doing it in VR some years ago.

New info on Microsoft abandoning the Hololens 3. Last week we all heard the news about Microsoft abandoning the HoloLens 3, and the denial of it by Alex Kipman and Microsoft itself. I hate how the speculation in the crypto world is risking to ruin what was one of the most interesting open social VR worlds in Europe.
The report also highlights that one of the regions where VR may grow more in 2019–2023 is Western Europe. During the presentation of HoloLens 2, Microsoft called on stage Trimble to present its safety solution to use the latest Microsoft AR headset safely in industrial environments. Trimble stress-tests its AR helmet.
Besides that, it is also hiring key figures to make this AR dream a reality : the operating system project will be supervised by Mark Lucovsky, a former Microsoft engineer who co-developed Windows NT. Unluckily, only US users will be able to enjoy it for Christmas, since the launch in Europe is delayed. I hate this.

HP has fixed many of the visual problems of the headse t, and Microsoft has just released a patch on Windows 10 that aims at solving many visual issues of all WMR headsets (like Chromatic aberration). But honestly, I expected a bit more … it’s a bit weird that Microsoft hasn’t solved its biggest pain point yet. News worth a mention.
In Europe, this marketing effort is just starting now, so the penetration is not that high, yet. In the USA, it is almost mainstream; in Europe, it is something for people that have some knowledge of gaming or technology; in South America, is very difficult to get a headset.
