I'm sure you guys have seen the Hololens video above but before you gets your hopes up below is the video released before the Kinect came out known at the time as 'Project Natal' MS have this odd ability to really oversell the actual ability of pre-release products to the point they almost ever reflect the real thing.

The video below shows this.

Project Natal

Bow down to the almighty sean. And microsoft can never be trusted. I always wait for a product review before buying a microsoft product.

The thing with this is, just like "Project Natal" there is alot of CGI that goes inti these as they can not really show us what goes on through the Lens I am assuming.

Probably going to be another hyped up thing that will come tumbling down. Same old MS.

The kinect is a great product. The reviews for it was good. Don't get confused with Microsoft and Sony.

I loved the Kinect on the 360 and on the XB1 and this new Hololens thing looks awesome! Hopefully, if released, it will be at a decent price.

I think that the fact they're actually calling the hololens a computer all on its own with a 3rd new processing unit HBU i know i heard something about it processing terabytes of information at a time which if true would leave me to believe this may actually work and they've had so many prototypes of this type of device that i believe this may be the final draft and i believe it will live up to the hype.. but none the less i will be trying it before buying it if it works and looks exactly how they portrayed it this will be revolutionary
