My thoughts on Hololens 2
Even considered cutting-edge technology, AR is more suitable for casual games and puzzle games at the current stage due to many limitations, such as low refreshing rate, limited interactions, and restrained eyesight. AR is good at extracting a 2D world on the screen into miniature models in 3D space.
Hololens 2 doesn't support abundant interactions, so we decided to build a puzzle game that focuses on a single interaction like dragging in Angry Bird and sliding in slicing in Cut the Rope.
