The HoloLens uniquely offers something magical – the ability to fit a large (virtual) PC screen into a small package, with full access to most UWP productivity apps.

AR fan Sean Ong found this feature useful on a recent trip from Dubai to the USA.  On such flights any device larger than a smartphone is currently banned from being carried in the cabin of the aeroplane, meaning most productive work is difficult to impossible.

Of course, intrepid HoloLens users are not bound by such physical limits and as can be seen in the video below, by using a mouse, keyboard and virtual screens he was able to get both work and play done on the 14.5-hour flight.

See the video below.
