#Microsoft HoloLens

Along with the Windows 10 updates and the announcement of the new Project Spartan browser, Microsoft forays into the full-field augmented reality segment of the market with the launch of the HoloLens, powered by Microsoft's Windows Holographic software. 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. 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. Microsoft has announced to completely remove the Adobe Flash component from Windows through the KB4577586 "Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player" starting June 2021. In July 2017, Microsoft, along with Adobe and their industry technology partners, announced that Adobe Flash Player would no longer be supported after December 2020. Microsoft has announced that the support for Windows 7 will come to an end on January 14, 2020, after its first release in 2009.
