Hello everyone.
The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

How much moisture can the HoloLens tolerate?
We're considering using the HL in a climate that gets some fog. Not so much you can't see of course, but damp (think London on a cool gray day). Any problems with this?

@WearableAR,
HoloLens is intended for indoor use, and its sensors are best adapted for that environment. However, I do know of people who have taken their HoloLens outside and had it work successfully. This usually works best when the weather is a bit overcast (but not raining), as the sun is the greatest source of interference for the IR sensor.
There are two main problems that you might encounter with fog: 1) Fog might interfere with tracking and how holograms appear. 2) HoloLens is not water proof, so there is the potential that water could get trapped between the lenses and fog up the device.
