Here you are my massive video review of the HoloLens 2 (featuring almost 1 hour of content) with many examples of interactions and mixed reality videos! For instance, in the box I’ve found a cleaning cloth for an Oculus device… and I don’t think it actually comes with a Microsoft HoloLens! HoloLens 2 Video Review.

Magic Leap releases its SDK. We still haven’t seen a Magic Leap device , but at least now we can see its SDK. The Florida company has released during the GDC the Lumin SDK, that is the development kit that has to be used to develop for LuminOS, the custom operating system of the Magic Leap device.

All of which matches up with the thought that Apple is planning a small, lightweight product—one that lives up to the term “wearable” by being more like smart glasses instead of an unwieldy Microsoft HoloLens. “It’s more than Microsoft can be said to be doing.”

And where did we come from?"

For example, head tracking can come from optical trackers or inertial ones. For example, DAQRI integrated a plugin that detects objects in a video stream. The open OSVR architecture opens plugin development to everyone. Magic Leap is not commercial yet. A key OSVR goal is to create abstract device interfaces.
