Microsoft Teases HoloLens 2 (cnet.com)

"Microsoft is expected to announce the next generation HoloLens headset at an already announced event on February 24, and the company's doing a bit more to stoke the flames," reports TechCrunch. One of the key people behind the original HoloLens, Alex Kipman, tweeted a video showing "vague forms of chips and cables [that] take shape out of melted ice, rocks and air," reports TechCrunch. From the report: The original headset was ahead of the mixed reality wave, but now that AR is starting to catch on all over the industry, the timing could be right for a big second-generation launch. Reports have suggested a Qualcomm 850 chip and new Project Kinect Sensors. The headset is also said to be cheaper and smaller than its developer-focused predecessor, which could put Microsoft in prime position to push augmented reality forward.

Could be big

Having tried pretty much all of the VR and AR headsets, the one I thought had the most potential was actually the Hololens - only hampered by a really bad field of view limitation.

If they have improved on that a lot, I think a new Hololens could do really well, even if it's still expensive.

Remember an AR headset can do AR and VR, while a VR headset can only do VR...
