Microsoft shows how to make mixed reality videos with HoloLens Spectator View

Microsoft released a couple videos that show the possibilities of creating mixed-reality video. They released a model for 3D printing that allows a HoloLens to be mounted on a DSLR camera and the results are pretty fantastic.

For those of you who saw this:
Minecraft presentation
at E3 2015, this is how they made the video. I wish I had a second HoloLens so I could experiment with this! (Oh, and a DSLR camera...:apologetic: )

I've always waiting for VR but I must admit that by now, AR is proven to be quite more useful and MS is nailing it. Can't wait to be able to have multiple virtual screens to work with my computer. Looking forward to see what Apple is going to present in the next months.

One Hololens is out of my reach. Two is WAAAAY beyond my reach, lol. That would be cool, though. Thanks for sharing it!

I have to admit that usually I am a bit of a hater when it comes to Apple, mostly because they aren't super developer-friendly. But they know how to make or break industry trends, and I am excited to see what they come up with in the AR space.

OK, that setup should be around $10000 so I will officially need to sell some body parts for that lol

But it's in fact truly amazing, I only hope to try it once and be amazed and not having the hopes higher than reality.

Also I would like to see more companies related to AR joining forces, if VR is helping medical students to practice their surgeries and can't imagine how now aren't with doing the actual surgeries without some AR glasses on.

For now; wait a few years... :-)

I hope Microsoft doesn't lose the market for being too late, like they did with WP.

Wow! Hololens is just too cool.
