I really hope Google puts aside their differences with Microsoft and tries to get a demo of this running on Hololens. I think it would be SO much cooler to be able to walk around someone's cool 3D art piece using AR rather than VR.

Hololens has a tremendously small FOV and everything it projects is translucent. Not exactly a great medium for viewing art.
I've used Hololens, and not everything it projects it translucent. It does have a small FoV, but it will get bigger with time, right now it's because of battery tech and chip energy efficiency/power.
I knew about the small FOV but I thought the big selling point was that everything was NOT translucent?
