Latest Hololens video shows the actual field-of-view versus the marketed one

Microsoft's Hololense was initially revealed as an augmented reality headset that could transform an entire room, with little to no limitations when it came to field-of-view. When technology sites like Ars Technica and Verge got a hold of the devices, they couldn't help but notice one thing – the Hololens did not function as it had been advertised.

The field-of-view for the headset is startlingly small compared to the images that were shared, images that showed the device taking over an entire room making it into a land of Minecraft. A new video from Microsoft shows off the disparity between the advertised view and what you are actually going to be seeing when using the headset.

This field-of-view doesn't make the piece of technology any worse, it is still a really cool concept. It would be nice if the Hololens could display the marketed view instead of the actual view.
