This seems way more advanced than the other VR headsets
i'm not sure i would say more advanced. but because its wireless and the fact you interact with stuff in the real world. is basically star trek, star wars, any sci fi space movie we've seen for years and years is finally here.

I hope the Devs will use their imagination on this one, especially in gaming. i can see all sorts of commercial uses for it. which they show some on that website i posted.

i guess we could say VR headsets = First Person games only.

HoloLens could be for FP games as well as Non FP games. And i would assume you could probably wear the hololens all day long for hours and not have eye fatigue or any dizziness issues that you will get from wearing a VR headset too long.

hololens update from may 2016. this is nice yall.. can't even lie about it.

This is next level computing that i'm talking about. i got my netflix on one side, i got my work on the other, or just the internet in general.

I will say this. the monitor manufacturers better start warming up those resumes. cause if/when this thing gets cheaper and they keep updating it. Why will we ever need a monitor? you wont.

your entire PC at some point can be inside of the glasses. think about that for a moment. no more laptops, tablets, cell phones, desktops. this is the future of computing if you ask me.

the glasses will become less bulky looking(some say its pretty light on your head already.)

Gaming wise I can see this getting boring real quick, but day to day functionality, I can see this taking off

it wouldn't get boring because you would play the same games you like to play. they would just start creating more and more content for the halolens to make it make sense. early on, it would be gimmicky stuff as it usually is. then once they realize its here to stay. the content will start dropping in.

if nothing else, it would be a great setup for indie/old school games/games like civilization with that top down view. you know, strategy games. imagine this being the new Board game. just in digital form.

what do you mean boring? as if the only games you would play are these little bootleg intro games. Imagine real games just being played outside of a screen. you're running on a real field in madden. and running on a real court right in your room on nba 2k20. when ever we get to that point. it wont be boring, it will be a different way of playing games then we are use to. we being the old heads of tomorrow. for the kids growing up when this stuff is official. it will be like a monitor or a tv screen to us.
