What's the tactical advantage of iDroid using hologram rather than a LCD screen?
Rule of cool
Also likely better for 3D mapping areas
you can keep your eyes on the field while you look at logistics simultaneously.

If it falls out of your pocket, the odds of the lens breaking are lesser than an LCD screen, since it's less surface.
Holograms don't crack.

>>343406587
what is topography for 500 alex
>>343406587
The display is bigger than the device, so it takes up less psace
>>343406587
You can stick your dick in a hologram
That huge fucking hologram in the air is likely to seen by enemy from a mile away tho.
>>343406675
Well, this.
>>343406785
No?
That's not how hologram tech works
LCD wasn't invented yet.
>>343406785
It's also bright as fuck
>>343406893
You know nothing about nanomachines.
>>343406878
Gentle reminder that hologram displays doesn't exist even in 2016 so that's not an excuse.
>>343406587
LCD hasn't been invented yet in 1984 fool. Use your head.
>>343407049
The patriots suppressed the information
>>343407049
Wrong
Do a quick Google search

It looks cool.
>>343407049That's the joke.
>>343406587
because they were giant heavy vaccum tubes back then?
>>343407151
Yeah, holographic iPhones totally existed in 80's.
How did I forget that. My bad.
>>343407275
You didn't see the news broadcasts? It was right next to the segment about a nuclear armed paramilitary operating out of a oil rig
>>343407275
>Why are there holograms in a game with giant mechs in the 60's
>>343407427
You missed the point of the thread.
I'm not asking "hurr durr, why is there holograms in the 80's?"
I'm asking what's the tactical advantage of it being a hologram.
>>343407556
You got your answer.
Delete this thread.
>>343407265
If they have holographic iPhones in this reality, I would assume they also have a proper LCD technology.
>>343407734
well
good thing its not rl I guess
>>343407734
No. They still use cassettes.
LCD screens don't exist in the metal gear universe until MGS 2, Shadow Moses uses CRT monitors.
So the simple answer is that LCD screens haven't been invented yet.
>>343407870
But iDroid can scan casettes and play them like an iPod.
>>343407971
What? You have a cassette player on you in the game
>>343407971
Not canon. Not all gameplay mechanics are canon, most notably the stealth camo.
>>343408127
>>343408113
Oh, so it's just an interface thing. My bad.
>>343406587
No glare
>>343406587
Don't forget that the screen is YUGE
Why is it called iDroid
>>343409589
Pokes fun at how mindless Apple fans are
>>343409589
Combination of iPhone/iOS and Android
>>343409589
really, nigger?
>>343406587
Technology was advancing uch faster in the MG setting/universe than IRL, which makes me jelly.
I mean they had working bionics before the 1990's for fucks sake, AND they had nanomachines tested in the 1990's, and they later became a mainstream thing in the early 2000's.
>>343407030
NANOMACHINES SON.
>>343410302
shieeeet
>>343406587
So you don't have to rely on shitty drawn on the fucking ground diagrams.
