Microsoft HoloLens 2 hands-on: A giant leap closer to mixed reality

Microsoft has made mixed reality less awkward. That was the major takeaway from my time with HoloLens 2, its new $3,500 headset aimed not at you (or me), but at businesses. It's not only because the headset is so much more comfortable, (though that can take a lot of the credit). Microsoft has also doubled the mixed reality field of view, making the holographic overlay less like a floating reticle and more like a (virtual) display that's useful. At its MWC press event, Microsoft claimed it was the only holographic device that can display 47 pixels per degree of field of view, making 8-point fonts readable.
