Microsoft Hololens is an augmented reality headset developed by Microsoft. It uses holograms to overlay virtual objects in the real world. The Hololens functions as an independent, untethered device with its own computer and HPU (Holographic Processing Unit). It uses spatial mapping and sensors to track hand gestures and voice commands as inputs to interact with holograms. The Hololens works by processing data from its sensors to map the environment, localize sounds, and superimpose holograms so they interact realistically with the physical space.
