Until now, most readers had to imagine those limitations in their mind's eye. That's hard to do while watching Microsoft's fanciful demos, which obscure this limitation by showing augmented reality holograms that completely fill a camera's field-of-view. A new promotional video from Microsoft, though, gives some brief glimpses at how this limited field-of-view looks from a first-person perspective.
The video (above), which highlights Microsoft's anatomy education partnership with Case Western Reserve University, primarily shows the kind of camera-filling holograms we've seen during previous HoloLens demos. But there are a few small sections that transition to a first-person view, showing how the hologram effect simply disappears outside a small central window.
You can see these bits at the 0:48, 0:58, 1:23, 1:38, and 1:42 timestamps in the above video. If you don't want to jump around, Polygon has made some animated GIFs of the relevant sections.
