Microsoft Introduces the HoloLens 2: Twice the View for $3,500
Microsoft releases a new iteration of the HoloLens, the company's mixed-reality headset effort. The HoloLens works with mirrors and lasers to project images onto the visor. As a result, users see a virtual layer over the actual environment. Available for preorder now and shipping later this year, the $3,500 sequel improves upon its 2016 predecessor with 2K displays offering a 52-degree FOV, eye-tracking sensors, and better comfort. It also features superior battery life, having switched out Intel's Cherry Trail parts for an ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon 850.

Did you see any gaming? It's not for games or consumers in general. The hololens has become a professional gadget for industries.
That's true but with minuscule user base it will have poor support by any SW. It's a nice gimmick, but I don't think that something priced like that can really succeed. We can look into past at i.e. wifi, it had competitors that were technically superior, but the price of wifi outcompeted all.

I just ordered two in case one broke. Lol
Hopefully the R&D done on these things trickles down into future retail vr and helps it evolve.

I never claimed it is for games, I said it would require SW support and I'm skeptical that with small user base there will be any. However, if you claim that it has already become a professional tool, then please do tell where it is actually used.

Good, because for a price like that it has to run RTX post processing with 60fps+ over the real world image or I won't buy it.

Electro shock to head?
Anyway, just seeing this price tag tells me that it is not meant for consumers, entertainment, daily gadget for masses. Maybe when price falls down to range of expensive Cellphones...
They have a contract with the American military for the technology that might have something to do with it.
