Hololens vs Quest
If we see Hololens as a mix of 80% reality and 20% virtual reality, then the combination for Quest would probably be 10% reality, and the rest is virtual. Rather than a competition between VR and MR, the question has now become which device can blur the line between real and virtual better.
Compared to Hololens’s heaviness and small FOV, Quest, in my opinion, has an overall better user experience. Not to mention how friendly the price is. Is this a hint telling us that Facebook is determined to lead the MR and VR industry in the future?
When VR and MR headsets first hit the market, convincing the consumer market was the goal. However, we can find evidence from history that generally how a new expensive technology succeeds, is by coming up with solutions for companies or industry pipelines.
In the past several years, Apple has always been the leader in smart devices targeting the consumer market. What would be Apple’s move in the AR/MR wearable market?
