Microsoft user experience consultant before you experience Hololens

I search a bit before writing, some experience of Hololens articles online, but most of the foreign press reports, or a small addendum to chop combination of some foreign media articles, and occasionally a simple trial evaluating two review sites, write more data and information, true feelings and questions is relatively small, so intend to do it yourself. In the course of using, until now in the process of writing it, I have been so excited, just as the first encounter computers.

First of all, it's not VR, it's not VR, this is not VR! Important things to say three times, who asked me how I compared with other VR helmet side. The VR is a rip off, will you! According to Microsoft, this is MR (VR+AR), the biggest difference, my words, are you wearing Hololens can move around to enjoy in all space plane even in all rooms outdoor use it, can people around and normal communication. The VR helmet, try it you walk two steps without falling.

Notes: this is my digital product reviews and user experiences for more than 10 years to see one of the most exciting products. Unfortunately I was at Microsoft, this stuff just released but not on my hand, I charge it Windows8, Xbox and Windows Phone One to shake the terrifying. Is my Windows device company, but Hololens and I want to buy, even if it is very expensive.

My sunset sky in Beijing opened a browser

I am using it with suspicion. That night a year ago, we Build the Assembly see Hololens first appearance on live, he marvels, at one point, I doubt that demo is film special effects, still nothing. I doubt Microsoft's first generation product of the process will be very rough, also see what would it worry about glasses gone, can't fixed, will head is missing some elements, fear not because the gesture caused by the actions of some miscalculations of the system confused ... ... In short, I didn't endorse it, but after the experience I was overturned.

Industrial design

Out of the box experience does not say, soft shell and internal structure is very well designed, very nice. Box match the simple head and Micro USB charging cable, another alternate nasal, and bearing strips can be added to the head.

Multiple pieces of glass glasses shape, double head ring design, perfect. Solves the problem of head very well, regardless of the head big head small, first adjust the inner ring wear, and then within each track fixed outer ring and lens, can promote and up and down dozens of adjustments until the stability of the nose. If you want to wear more easily, plus top of the load-bearing little strips.

Exposed on the outer two flat red Horn holes (the two red good), can be fixed just above the ear, do not need to wear ear plugs can also clearly hear system sounds, if you want to listen to the music of the film, and the outer ring also has headphone jack at the back.

Ring contact inside the head skin material is very good. Outer loop in addition to lens module is divided into 4 sections, each coupled but can stretch between angle, this design is very good, thought only Sony could do such a thing.

Can go online to search for the appearance of the other pics, and here I would say that those photos do not feel out of things.

System and performance

System is based on the Windows (Windows), itself Hololens carrying Windows10 operating system, like the Edge of the main menu, there are some basic browser, settings App, Windows stores already have some tools designed for Hololens software or games can be downloaded.

So the overall performance in two ways.

1, hanging in any browser, such as Windows or hanging on the wall, and then enjoy the content, such as videos, weather, news, and more.

2, open a tool/games and tools out of diorama placed in any position, on the desktop, on the floor, the ceiling, and then manipulate it, such as decomposition model of human anatomy. Games can also belong to this category.

Human-computer interaction interactive gesture 2, simple enough.

1, four fingers except the index finger and thumb down the index finger--this is clicked.

2, Palm up, fingers outstretched--this is to bring up the main menu, or GM's cancellation.

In addition to gestures can use voice control, Microsoft Cortana is perfect, directly shout "Hi Cortana" she will help you out, with good English to use barrier. Once used it all of a sudden the answer "Hello, this is Cortana", I don't know why all of a sudden into Chinese. Voice control when entering the URL in the browser is very convenient, abroad website you read, enter, such as http://Microsoft.com,http://apple.com, but the Chinese pinyin domain name there is no way, http://douban.com can only point to keyboard input.

Experience

Science fiction and fantasy! I don't want to write specific feelings, just want to express my joy on the line. The only future experience, only seen things in the science fiction films, showed up at his house in every room, can I not excited?

Only my stupid dog doesn't understand why I'm so hi.

Scene ideas

Game experience of some articles on the Web, I'm not interested. So I imagine scenes are all about daily life.

Walls are placed several Windows in the living room, then turned off, too.

I put a browser window in a sink, a window placed on the hood and one in the freezer Panel. So I wash the dishes when can I see the video site, looked up and saw the menu while doing the dishes, refrigerator panel shows the microblogging, passing by when can glance at the news.

Bedroom wall and empty, so let out a window and pull large enough TV. Watercress FM opens a window on the closet door, does not support Flash, can't listen to the song. Bedroom bed sets for Bing picture wallpaper just fine. Two bathrooms were placed on the walls of two Windows with a view of the video or brush the watercress.

Den and living room, hanging pendulum model of planet Earth, satellites, astronauts, and so on, has put on the table their own activities of the chimpanzees ... ... These are boring good to play with, if you have more good applications to Hololens platform, life will be richer, or more weird.

Some shortcomings

Some small fly in the ointment, I don't find fault, mainly speak 4 tricky questions.

View

Many people say that angle is small, tell you that you did not tune up!

Use in a new scenario, after scanning the environment, viewing angle is large enough, maybe 120 degrees, all elements of the front room and Windows can at a glance. However, when I get off, and then put on, or to other people wear, will find the angle is very small, less than 90 degrees, can see right in front of a window, and also was cut off. If in the system settings resetting, you can recover. But do not understand why the perspective will change.

Screenshot

The screenshots that I made worse, because, very complicated. First, in the main menu screen, at the moment of cutting, feeling all the elements of the PIX is lower, and with serrated, cut out of the picture itself than I see in the use of ineffective use Windows is very smooth, fonts are very clear, screen shot the thing itself is low-pixel screen.

Then, cut out, or endure for Onedrive, or only share to Facebook or Twitter ... ... Routing over the wall in my home, so are shared to Facebook and then open the saved on the phone, so pictures and sent a little.

How do individuals feel to join the voice-activated screen better. The recording screen, I recorded a few paragraphs, sent on Facebook was too slow, don't want to wait.

Screen has several problems, 1. main menu screen cannot be, 2. some heavyweights, maybe the bug problems of its own, opening screen does not show the content.

Keyboard

Keyboard is Windows 10 and you can see the full keyboard on the Xbox One a look, swing head focused on the letter you want, and then click, efficiency is very low neck was bad. But the only news is the text you entered will follow the direction of your point of view, it can see the content you entered is right. If not drive there is no way not to try to enter something. I don't even own WIFI password is crazy ... ...

Full screen

For ease of operation, and none of the window full screen mode, with a toolbar above, so look at the pictures and watch the video site cannot flow experience. But stereo models can hide the toolbar and items out of the box, do not affect the game, and so on.

Answering some important questions: 1 will be confused?

No, because Hololens lens is transparent, so you can see everything around, not balance.

2, will be hot?

No, battery hidden location particularly good, do not contact or close to the head skin. And partly also direct holding cell just fail to heat, is amazing.

3, share photos, many saw, whether picture quality not good?

Earlier in the say, screenshot picture quality than the actual experience of sharing good 10 times or more.

4, how long the battery life?

Officials say 3 hours, yesterday I was at the last 10% of the electricity used by nearly half an hour, so 3 hours of data must be false.

5, which shows scenes and elements will move around it?

When you walk in wearing it, there will be a very, very minor changes, but very small, ignored.

6, the development of machine work?

Completely unexpected, comparable to Sony HMZ head-mounted display to work. Reasonable design and rich in detail.

7, wears a tired or not?

After all, the weight of 1 kg, I say not tired is a fake. Adjust the angle would be perfect, said according to my experience of some friends than any other VR devices are comfortable. And I'm useless until the weight in the head attachment tape, installed it just now tried it, more comfortable. But how much longer will not apply.

8, operation complex?

Interaction is very simple, normal IQ to start, good spoken English is even more convenient.

9, the resolution is high enough now?

I have carefully to understand the resolution of the problem, but it will consider this in actual use because si0 everything very clearly, except for those models is low model, some elements because of high brightness led to some false, but these are false, have to accept the fact.

10, wearing thick glasses and wears it comfortable?

I am the whole wearing thick glasses.

Microsoft user experience consultant before you experience Hololens

All in all, I'm very charmed life has, and advised friends zaguomaitie I can buy (consumer version came out, of course). Friends in these days of ideas you can use it to do some creative products, I would like to say, you can do so much more.
