Quick comparison between the two products

1. Microsoft’s
HoloLens vs
Google Glass v1.0
Quick comparison between the two
products

2. Both devices are AR
(augmented reality) devices
• Although neither company acknowledge it

3. HoloLens is a product Glass
v1.0 was an experiment
• HoloLens is meant to be sold to consumers
• Glass was meant to be sold to early adopters,
developers and technology enthusiast

4. HoloLens is a full-blown
computer, Glass is a full-
blown mobile device
• HoloLens has far more graphics power than Google
Glass. On top of that HoloLens works on both eyes,
where as Google Glass only works with one eye. This
means that the graphic capabilities and use cases
for HoloLens are wider than Google Glass
CPUCPUCPU

5. But … on the other side
• Because of its size and weight, HoloLens is meant to
be used indoors or under controlled environments
• Glass (in comparison) can be wear easily outdoors
while walking, biking, running, etc.

6. Developing for each
• HoloLens developing requires Windows 10, which is
still a beta OS. Anything goes!
• Google Glass requires Eclipse or Android Studio.
Glass apps are Android apps, which offer a fair
availability of development platforms and a huge
pool of developers

7. Price
• Price for HoloLens is unknown, however judging by
its hardware, it won’t be cheap. Possibly not less
than 600$.
• Glass initial simplicity allows room for price flexibility,
given the use of standard mobile hardware, which
in the end means a lower price

8. Thanks!
