For sure Microsoft had made a better product.
Everyone said that so … I say that )
I didn’t test it yet (surprise! uh!?)
But as a social being, I’ve started chanting with the crowd : the “Emperor’s clothes” are beautiful!
Suddenly, the kid in my head shouted: “The Hololens 2 is naked! It hasn’t any controller!”
Then came a very smart guy who kindly said this :
“They improved the hand tracking”
I was near to accept this wise remark, but my damned kid kept saying: “the Emperor is naked!”
Here is the point:
Even if Hololens reached the best precision possible with hand tracking there are many things which are better with a controller… see #MagicLeap one…
Shooting with a controller is far more interesting than doing it with empty hand (UX).
Screwing, cutting etc… A controller is capital to be able to mimic the tools.
Also, some disabled people could not do the gestures
Many other examples justify to integrate a controller in any XR device (at least as an option).
Hand tracking is capital for the evolution of the #XR tech but with controllers!!
What am I missing?
Please help me silence “the kid”!!
