What "most tasks" are you referring to? Just curious since the applications of Hololens don't seem very solidified to begin with.

Well, "most tasks" here is really just the things I've wanted to do -- not exactly an unbiased sample. Things like tracking objects, reading QR codes, matching more complicated hand gestures (than the built-in ones). Unfortunately, a lot of the really interesting things that could be done involve the high-res IR cameras, which aren't exposed in any way to userspace.
Object tracking[1] and QR code reading are definitely possible at that resolution. For QR codes it's going to depend on the distance from it though.
