HoloLens is an augmented reality headset developed by Microsoft that allows users to interact with holograms in the physical world. It contains sensors, processors, and transparent lenses that overlay holograms on the real world without wires or external devices. Potential applications include gaming, education, design work, and more. While promising new experiences, challenges include potential privacy and safety issues when in public. Overall, HoloLens represents the beginning of holographic computing and could change how people see and interact with the digital world.
