Microsoft HoloLens is an untethered, self-contained computer with advanced sensors and transparent lenses that allows you to see holograms overlaid in the real world. It contains more computing power than a laptop and uses a custom Holographic Processing Unit to process sensor data in real-time, enabling it to understand gestures, eye movements, and spatial mapping. Additionally, its spatial sound capability allows users to hear synthesized holographic sounds from any location in the room without blocking out real world sounds.

2. Self-contained computer
Containing more computing power than the average laptop, Microsoft HoloLens doesn’t need external wires,
markers, or cameras, nor a connection to a phone or PC, so you can move freely and untethered.

3. Advanced sensors
Microsoft HoloLens has advanced sensors to capture information
about what you're doing and the environment you’re in.

4. Transparent lenses
See-through holographic lenses use an advanced optical
projection system, so you can see holograms in your world.

5. Holographic Processing Unit
The HPU is custom silicon that processes a large amount of data per second from the sensors, enabling
Microsoft HoloLens to understand gestures, where you look, and map the world around you, all in real time.

6. Spatial sound
Microsoft HoloLens synthesizes sound so that you can hear holograms from
anywhere in the room. It’s immersive, yet won’t block out the real world.
