The hololens could be delayed until 2019

It's been a while since we talked to you about Microsoft's HoloLens, its bet on virtual reality glasses. But the funny thing is that they could be delayed 2 more years in their launch. It is clear that we are expecting something very good, but 2 years in a field that is constantly changing, a priori seems very much. But although we have been hearing about this project for some time, we have no practical effects or tangible reality to lean on. Will it be as good as it says?

The launch of HoloLens is expected in 2019

On the Barrons website, an analyst, Anthony Stoss, has given us his opinion on Microsoft's HoloLens.

" We believe that VR investors are not expecting their products for 2017. An example is Microsoft's HoloLens, which are in development and are not expected to be ready for another two years ."

This analyst, does not believe at all that these virtual reality glasses are in an advanced stage of the project, believes that it is a slow development and that they could not be ready for 2 years, which is the date that the company is considering. to launch its virtual reality bet, which is not a small one, because it would be for the year 2019.

These statements together with the possible fact of waiting 2 years for the HoloLens, has caused that the actions of Himax Technologies (HIMX) regarding HoloLens, have fallen in price, so having to wait 2 more years to see this project come true.

2 years is a long time for a sector that advances so fast

Will they live up to what companies like Samsung or Google want to achieve? We will have more data soon. What is clear is that things get complicated, because we are talking about 2 years of waiting for the virtual reality glasses of the guys from Microsoft.

What do you expect from these virtual reality glasses? Do you really want to enjoy them?
