What is the FoV compared to the HoloLens? The article reads like it has the same FoV issue but didn't go over specifics. Though we have to keep in mind that HoloLens is now an older device and a new version is coming out soon. So then the question becomes, did they ship this 2 years too late, or does it even matter?

I also find it interesting that instead of making it stand alone, they require a belt/pocket clip computer unlike Hololens. The headset seems much more compact, makes me wonder what Microsoft will be able to squeeze out in v2 of Hololens. Either way, competition is good.



The Verge said in their video: FOV of 50, so very small, where an oculus has 80 and HTC Vive (I believe) has 100 FOV.
