For people who understand neural networks, this is HUGE! I have been dreaming for a custom chip for neural networks for 5 years! If they pull it off and deliver a product launch in a year or two, then they would smoke the competition again.

Hello? Hololens did it already and tether-free. Here is my mixed reality capture tape taken on HoloLens. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Av3Fdx5RnUI

Would this impact HoloLens? I am so in love with it, and how can you not be, just look at this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vjlXJCcUUc

Fake it until you make it. Backgrounds are all pre-recorded. Not live! But it's an interesting concept once they manage to get all the scenes live. I still prefer face to face though.

Boring... They are just trying to sell their pixel phone... Seriously, haven't seen one great hardware product from Google.

Just made a FPS mini-game for Hololens with a lightning spell, but I must admit, it's nowhere near the paperplanes' coolness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wp_LukLn3c

Cool, they should use HoloLens or VR to do a 3D virtual show room. Something like this would be nice: https://m.reddit.com/r/HoloLens/comments/53lfmt/someone_crea...

Let's say the chance of Aliens visiting Earth is 1 in 1 vigintillion, then the chance of the Aliens being at similar levels of technological advancement as humans is 1 in 1 centillion...

In other words, they are so advanced that they can visit us without us knowing, unless they wanted us to know. They can wipe us out without us knowing, unless they wanted us to know.

I am so glad all these are still theoretical.

that's a great idea actually... microsoft needs to work on the peripheral field of view.

I believe it's not the cpu or gpu limiting the field of view. if you read the patents behind the waveguides, the real limitation seems to be in the waveguides. They need to make them thin enough for light to pass through, while at the same time refract light into you eyes at angles that don't result in major image distortions.
