HoloLens 2 is here!

in case you missed it

Microsoft announces HoloLens 2 today. There are tons of videos and articles you can find online, but I just wanted to say one thing - OMFG!!!!

While watching these keynotes today, I had to pause to take in all the awesomeness they were presenting. By far my favourite is how nicely HoloLens 2 tracks hand gestures. While there is lots of work to be done to make similar technologies mainstream, I can claim that I FINALLY saw a modern technology and that the future is here!

If you got some time to kill, watch the full keynotes here or you can jump to the 27 min and watch the HoloLens demo. https://news.microsoft.com/microsoft-at-mwc19/

no worries 100%. just sharing my opinion.

I heard Microsoft workers started a petition to not produce this any more because its related to war

Well I think you heard it somewhat wrong. This is an enterprise device and will be available to any company that is interested in using it or building experiences for it.
The half a billion $ contract that Microsoft got with military will probably be base on some of the similar technologies, but most likely is a custom solution.
Last time I heard the petition was from 50-ish people (probably more now) out of 135000 Microsoft employees.

While I understand that these employees did not sign up to build a tech to kill people, but every tech has a potential to kill. IMHO Microsoft has a strong leadership and I rather them pick up this contract instead of some other company with looser moral values.
