Sharing

To me, the two biggest differentiators between mixed reality as experienced in the HoloLens and other devices that are currently available, is untethered way of working and the possibility to see what other people are doing.

So, if you have more than one device, it is possible to share data between these two devices. We can even share holograms, thus enforcing the effect of believing objects are actually there. After all, if you see something and someone else sees the same thing and can point out things, it must be real. Right?
