Microsoft unveils HoloLens, bringing AR holograms to life

Microsoft HoloLens is touted as the first fully untethered holographic computer, and is equipped with see-thru, high-definition lenses, spatial sound, and advanced sensors. To make up most of the holographic experience, the Redmond giant added a third processor it calls the HPU, or Holographic Processing Unit, enabling a more seamless visual experience. This holographic technology is developed by Microsoft along with NASA, USA’s space agency.

Users can also create their own 3D images in minutes using the built-in Holo Studio software. During the press conference, Microsoft demonstrated creating a drone in 3D space, to which they printed out in 3D a few hours before the event began.

Netflix, Minecraft, and a holographic version of Skype are among the first programs to arrive at the newest Microsoft hardware. It is expected to arrive into stores “somewhere along the Windows 10 timeline.”
