When I hear about VR and Microsoft, I don't think about Hololens at all because Hololens is not VR, it's Augmented Reality, a very different thing. Could be great if "journalists" were able to get their facts straight.

Actually, given the quite narrow Field of View it seems MS decided to rename it "mixed reality":

"We call this experience mixed reality.". It makes sense, I suppose. lol

 

Yep, but I don't think the narrow FoV changes the technology. You still see the reality with added elements thanks to the glasses, like the Google Glass for example. This is the definition of Augmented Reality IMO. 

 

"Mixed reality" is just a marketing term used to look more innovative. In any case, nothing close to VR (VR doesn't involve the "real" reality ^^).
