Super cool to see something I worked on hit the front page :)

We had a film crew document the development of the app, you can check out the videos here http://aka.ms/syivideos and you can read some technical posts here https://microsoftstudios.com/hololens/editors-notes/

Download the code and run it in Unity, the emulator, or a real device!

A demo video would be nice.

Demo video. Cheers. https://twitter.com/HoloLens/status/712715836893433856

Any info on whether the HoloLens field of view has gotten any better yet?

It's still super cool even with the fov limitation.

True, but everyone's first impression is disappointment, since all the videos we see demonstrating the technology suggests you can see much more at once.

Yeah, I think everyone is pretty skeptical when they see HoloLens demos shown from 3rd person. The TED demo in particular felt like it was substantially exaggerating the capabilities of the device.
