Microsoft's HoloLens Big Play - Big Miss

When Microsoft showed HoloLens at TED in Vancouver, its presentation was dramatic and impressive. I wasn't sure why, but the TED crowd of techno early adopters and thought leaders seemed less than impressed. The augmented reality glasses promised to place holograms on top of the real world. But after the demo, the TED Host Helen Walters asked Alex Kipman about the criticism that HoloLen's field of vision was narrow and limited. Kipman didn't answer the question, and you could feel the room shift uncomfortably.
