AR vs VR: “Sorry, Oculus, but HoloLens gets my money”

Haje Jan Kamps writes in TechCrunch about his first hand experiences with the HoloLens, and how the augmentation of reality was much more natural and compelling than the Oculus VR experience for him:

Here are a few choice quotes by Haje Jan Kamps from the article:

This is tech that makes sense for people who don’t want to lock themselves away from the world, who want technology to enhance, improve and, indeed, augment their lives.

There’s no way of explaining how fast you’ll get used to the world suddenly having a layer of data over it. Within 20 minutes of putting the device on for the first time, it felt completely normal. Natural, even.

…[HoloLens] isn’t really designed to be worn when you’re out among people: That’s not what it is for. You wear it while interacting with the real world in controlled settings, such as an office or — more likely — a design studio.

For 2016, HUMAN is focusing on Augmented Reality. Because the future is not a screen you can touch.
