\nNew details were revealed by Bruce Harris, a technical evangelist at Microsoft, in a YouTube video posted by Israel-based wearables entrepreneur Niv Calederon that was surfaced<\/a> by Petri IT Knowledgebase on Friday. The video has since been removed but only after the new details were heard.
\nThanks to the video, we now know that the device will offer roughly five to five and a half hours of battery life when working on Word documents or email, and about two and a half hours when using it for highly intensive computational work involving detailed renderings. The Hololens can connect to anything with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth technology. Harris also addressed how what the FOV looks like. Saying it feels like having a 15 inch monitor about one foot from your face.
\nAs of now, the Hololens is looking much more affordable for developers rather than the general public since the price tag is $3,000. But hopefully the technology becomes cheaper and more widely available as time goes on. Check out the video below to see Microsoft\u2019s vision for the Hololens.
