>the actual holograms are transparent on the headset

Lovely video. You mean the holograms appear transparent in real life usage?

Have you tried watching a full movie through the HoloLens?

Could you make another video while watching a video on a 90inch screen?

Yes, the holograms are literally objects made of light so at low brightness they are transparent, but if you crank up they will appear solid but you still won't confuse it for a real object because they are so bright.

I haven't watched a whole movie on it yet, but it wouldn't be a problem, the device is reasonably comfortable so you can wear it for hours

Thanks for the initial video.

For long, I've fantasized carrying a theater screen around if you know I mean. So if you don't mind, I'd love to see the maximum size the movie app's screen could scale on the hololens.

Also, if you're doing the vid, kindly add lazy mode scene" where you lie down watching a video affixed to the ceiling.
