HoloLens pricing $ 3000 now, regular users cannot afford, if you use a larger glass, the price may have to add thousands of dollars.

Another reason Microsoft does not increase the field of vision is a battery. Harris said the HoloLens now can use up to 5.5 hours, heavy use is about 2.5 hours. Projection content increase must faster and consumes power. Microsoft device with battery now try to increase vision results HoloLens can hold only 20 minutes game cannot be finished.

But in a few years, manufacturing costs come down and the battery technology upgraded HoloLens vision should not be a problem.
