Why do holograms appear dim, faded, or ghostly?

Optimize the appearance of holograms on your HoloLens.

It helps to remember that holograms are made of light! The following factors will improve the appearance of holograms you view with the HoloLens headset.

• Use the rocker switch on the left side of your headset visor to adjust brightness. Press the forward portion of the switch to increase brightness and the rear portion to decrease brightness. 
• Work in an area with even, moderate, and diffuse lighting. Direct sunlight or other bright lights will compete with the holograms. It may help to reduce the ambient lighting in the room. Be sure you still have enough light to see where you are going though!

• Be sure your visor is clean. Wipe the visor with a microfiber cloth on both inside and outside. Do not use alcohol-based wipes.
