New Emerging Technology

2. Microsoft HoloLens is the world’s
first fully untethered, self-
contained holographic computer.

3. It is an augmented
reality headset that
mixes your physical
real world with
virtual hologram
experiences from
around the world by
using transparent
lenses, spatial
sound and an
understanding of
your surrounding
environment.

4. It is the creation of
Microsoft employee,
Alex Kidman who also
worked on MicroSoft
Kinect, which is
consider the
Grandfather of
HoloLens.

5. HOLOLENS TECHNOLOGY
Multiple cameras
and sensors
stationed inside the
headset.

6. HOLOLENS TECHNOLOGY
Uses a unity engine for sound
which allows sound to change
based on the proximity of
your objects. The audio is
delivered through two small
speakers in the headset not
microphones, so you can hear
the real environment around
you.

7. HOLOLENS TECHNOLOGY
You can grab items off
the computer and pull
them into the air and
control them with your
mouse. It has a CPU –
Computer Processing
Unit, GPU- Graphic
Processing Unit and
HPU – Holographic
Processing Unit.

8. TEACHING WITH HOLOLENS
Hologram Teaching.
Allow teachers to
give lessons to
students around the
world. Students
could take a tour of
the Egyptian
Pyramids, explore
careers or visit
space.

9. TEACHING WITH HOLOLENS
Holograms look and
sound real due to
transparent lenses
and spatial sound.
They can be world-
locked so you can
walk around them in
a physical location.

10. EDUCATION IMPLICATIONS
The Educational implications are endless. Teachers can use it as a form of
educational entertainment to help students out with challenges they face
when learning or retaining knowledge. It can be used for medical
students to study anatomy online without being in a classroom with real
models or cadavers.

11. FUTURE IMPLICATIONS
Hololens will increase the quality
of online teaching dramatically
between the student and their
learning environment by
providing virtual field trips around
the world. Students can visit
space without traveling on a
spaceship.
Online teaching will be a
classroom of students from all
over the world sitting as
holograms at the table together.

12. SELF REFLECTION ON TECHNOLOGY
This technology will change
the minds of instructors that
I work with that resist online
teaching or learning,
because of the of the lack
engagement, interpersonal
communication or hands on
experience. With Microsoft
Hololens new ways of
teaching will be endless.
