Microsoft HoloLens was the first full fledged Mixed Reality Headset. It is based on windows mixed reality platform. It is arguably the future of computing. It was launched on March 2015.

3. Introduction
 Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained, holographic computer, which enables us
to engage with our digital content and interact with holograms in the world around us.
 It does this using Windows Mixed Reality platform.

4. What are Holograms?
 Holograms are 3 Dimensional images formed
by interference of light beams from a laser or
other light source.
 A hologram is an object like any other object
in the real world, with only difference: instead
of being made of physical matter, a hologram
is made entirely of light.
 HoloLens is a Head Mounted Display (HMD)
that displays Holograms.

5. Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality (AR)
 AR is a technology that layers
interactive, virtual enhancements on
top of an existing reality.
Virtual Reality (VR)
 VR is an artificial computer- generated
simulation or recreation of a real life
environment or situation.

6. Windows Mixed Reality
 Mixed reality (MR) is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new
environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist
and interact in real time.
 Mixed reality is a combination of both AR and VR.
 Windows Mixed Reality is a Mixed Reality platform developed by
Microsoft.
 The platform works by enabling applications in which the live presentation
of physical real-world elements is incorporated with that of virtual
elements (referred to as "holograms" by Microsoft) such that they are
perceived to exist together in a shared environment.

7. What is HoloLens?
 Microsoft HoloLens is the first self-contained,
holographic computer, enabling you to engage
with your digital content and interact with
holograms in the world around you.
 The pre-production version of HoloLens, the
Development Edition, shipped on March 30, 2016,
and was targeted to developers in the United States
and Canada for a list price of $3000.
 It is now available globally and runs on Windows
Mixed Reality platform.

8. Inside the HoloLens
 The HoloLens features an inertial measurement unit (IMU) (which includes
an accelerometer, gyroscope, and a magnetometer) four "environment
understanding" sensors (two on each side), an energy-efficient depth
camera with a 120°×120° angle of view, a 2.4 MP photographic video
camera, a four-microphone array, and an ambient light sensor.

9. Inside the HoloLens (contd.)
 See through Holographic lenses use an advanced optical projection
system, so you can see holograms in your world.
 These transparent lens system allows for a digital world blended with the
real world.

10. Inside the HoloLens (contd.)
 In addition to an Intel Cherry Trail SoC containing the CPU and GPU,
HoloLens features a custom-made Microsoft Holographic Processing Unit
(HPU), a coprocessor manufactured specifically for the HoloLens by
Microsoft.

11. Inside the HoloLens (contd.)
 HoloLens provide immersive audio experience using the 4 microphones
and speakers which enable us to interact with Holograms in a more
realistic way.

12. Interacting with HoloLens

13. How we interact with HoloLens?
Gaze
Eye tracking sensors track where
the user is looking and adjusts the
display.
Gesture
Gesture input lets you interact with
your holograms naturally using
your hands or with a clicker.
Voice commands
Voice allows you to directly
command a hologram without
having to use a gesture. You
simply gaze at a hologram and
speak your command

14. How HoloLens interact with the
surroundings?
Spatial mapping
Spatial mapping provides a
detailed representation of the real
world surfaces in the environment
around the HoloLens, allowing the
developers to create a convincing
mixed reality experience
Spatial sound
Using spatial sound in an
application allows developers to
convincingly place sounds in a 3
dimensional space around the
user.
World coordinates
Using various sensors HoloLens
can precisely position and orient
those Holograms at places in the
world which are meaningful to the
user.

15. How does it work?
 Microsoft HoloLens has two display. They are transparent so that wearer
can see the real world behind virtual object.
 To create project Holograms, light particles bounce around millions of
times in the so called light engine of the device.
 As a HoloLens wearer, you’ll still see the real world in front of you. You can
walk around and talk to others without worrying about bumping into walls.
 The goggles will track your movements, watch your gaze and transform
what you see by blasting light into your eyes (it doesn’t hurt). The device
knows where you are so you can use hand gestures to interact with the
Holograms.
 Using the inbuilt cameras, the HoloLens understands where tables, chairs
and other objects are and uses this information to project 3D images on
top of and even inside them.

16. Uses of HoloLens
 Microsoft HoloLens brings
high-definition holograms to
life in your world, where they
integrate with your physical
places, spaces, and things.
 Your digital content and
creations will be more
relevant when they come to
life in the world around you.
Transform your world with Holograms

17. Uses of HoloLens
 Microsoft HoloLens brings high-
definition holograms to life in your
world, where they integrate with your
physical places, spaces, and things.
 Your digital content and creations will
be more relevant when they come to
life in the world around you.
 This level of illustrated instruction
could make getting the support you
need much easier, and could even
mean the beginning of a new industry
of remote consulting experts.
Remote instruction

18. Uses of HoloLens
 Imagine building a 3D model of pretty
much anything you can imagine in the
physical space around you. It is similar
to what Tony Stark does in the movie
Iron Man.
 Using the HoloLens to construct and
design new products could be an
important commercial use of the
device. All you need to do is send the
design to a 3D printer, and your
holographic model goes from concept
to reality.

19. Uses of HoloLens
 Gaming is a potential use
of HoloLens and the
possibilities are fascinating.
 HoloLens provides a much
more immersive gaming
experience.
 Imagine playing a game
using Holographic models
in your living room.
HoloLens promises to do
that.

20. Uses of HoloLens
 Smart classes provide a better
way for the education of students
but HoloLens provides a much
immersive effect.
 Students will be able to
experience what they are
studying in 3D which makes a
huge difference to the amount of
understanding.
Education

21. Uses of HoloLens
 Product designers will be able to get
up close and personal with their
creations while they’re still planning
them. Rather than just look at digital
models on their computer screens,
they could walk around a 3-D
hologram of the design.
 Microsoft says HoloLens has a wide
range of potential applications,
including in the enterprise, and
already it is being used in the design
of motorcycles, Volvos
Industrial uses

22. Uses of HoloLens
 Scientists at NASA’s Jet
Propulsion Laboratory will
soon be exploring Mars
using holograms of Mars
Rover images.
 This gives scientists the
opportunity to go to Mars
from their laboratories
itself so that they can
study the surface of Mars
as if they were actually on
the surface.
Space study

23. Conclusion
 Holographic computing experiences with Microsoft HoloLens are different
from existing experiences, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual
reality (VR).
 HoloLens looks incredibly exciting, but what we've seen so far is a glimpse
into the future.
 The team is working with creators and developers all over the world on
exciting new holographic experiences.
 The era of holographic computing is here.
 When you change the way you see the world, you can change the world
you see.
