"The field of view (FoV) is the extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment."

FOV is better characterized by a 2-dimensional measurement, like square degrees, or steradians, than a single 1-dimensional measurement, like diagonal angle. "2x improvement" sounds like a perfectly valid way to describe a 2.4x increase in FOV area to me.




The author discusses square degrees, but then makes the following statement:

"if we stack 19 Hololens 2 units perfectly, we have ourselves a fully Holographic sphere)...So don’t get hyped on that!"

...and it's rediculous assesments like this (e.g., which have no bearing on a viable AR display) that cause me to stop reading.


Right?

> It’s not even double the perimeter
