Based on 7 reviews
Comparing the two virtual reality headsets, Microsoft HoloLens and Oculus Go, there are some stark differences that make each device suitable for different types of use cases. Both devices provide a great immersive experience with room scale tracking and 360-degree views.
The Microsoft HoloLens has an impressive field of view at 35°, with a resolution of 1440 x 1440 pixels. It runs on the Windows OS and has a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The HoloLens is suitable for mixed reality applications such as designing or prototyping in 3D space.
The Oculus Go has a wider field of view at 101° and 2560x1440 resolution which makes it great for standalone VR gaming applications as well as watching media content. It also comes with built-in audio speakers which enhances the user’s experience without needing to put on headphones. Unfortunately, this device requires you to have a minimum Intel Core i3 processor (or equivalent AMD Ryzen) along with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti or Radeon RX 470 graphics card – making it slightly harder to run high end games. However, it does have an impressive refresh rate of 72 Hz which makes it feel quite smooth while playing games or watching videos.
In terms of personal preference, I would say that both headsets are great depending on what type of activities you plan on doing in virtual reality world - but I would personally choose the Microsoft HoloLens over the Oculus Go if my primary purpose was creating 3D designs or prototypes since its smaller field of view won’t be so much distracting from your main task at hand when compared to the Oculus Go’s larger FOV (field-of-view). Also, due to its higher refresh rate and superior graphics power requirements – I think it provides more enjoyable experiences in comparison to other options available out there like Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard etc… Overall both are good options depending on your needs but if you're looking for an immersive mixed reality experience then I would highly recommend giving Microsoft Hololens a try!
