The video is obviously a big fat lie, but maybe the display technology will reach that level sometime in the future

"In practice, the resolution is sharp but the field of view is extremely limited."
"The bigger issue for me was that the image was relatively transparent, which often made things look less than real."

So it's kinda like google glass but in stereo 3d with better head tracking. I'm not sure how you'd make the AR graphics completely opaque, that seems like a really difficult engineering problem. Maybe if you used a DLP chip with micromirrors you could build the optics so that they switched each pixel between being transparent or redirected to a display. Otherwise you could never overlay darker graphics on the real world, it would all look like washed out star wars holograms

TLDR lol microsoft

Real holograms might happen someday thanks to high powered lasers

I don't think you'd want to stick your hand in that though, it will most likely hurt like hell
