but it's AR?

The Hololens was way ahead of this as far as AR goes, the only issue that device had was FOV, but I won't use any passthrough after trying both

  • Passthrough has the benefit of enabling processing the input in ways to make surroundings more compelling and to blend in with the virtual content.

    Also small FOV is a critical issue for transparent screen AR. No one has managed to improve this significantly after hololens v1.

    • The hololens was much better at blending, I want to see the actual real world, not a display of it. There is no comparison here

      HLv2 was an all around improvement, if you only tried v1, you cannot make conclusions

  • That has nothing to do with the point that VR issues are being prescribed to an AR device..

    • The Apple device is an "AR" device, it still projects artificle video to your eyes rather than letting you see the real world.

      I haven't seen anything the apple device does better than the hololens 2, other than the field of view, which is only possible because they are mock AR, not real AR
