Microsoft's HoloLens
The document introduces Microsoft Hololens, a holographic computer running Windows 10, allowing users to interact with digital content pinned in their physical environment. Unlike virtual reality, Hololens offers see-through holograms that integrate seamlessly with the real world, providing unique experiences and applications. Developers can quickly adapt to Hololens by leveraging their existing knowledge of Windows 10 and participating in relevant development programs.

- 4. • A hologramis an object like any other object in the real world, with only one difference: instead of being made of physical matter, a hologram is made entirely of light. • Holographic objects can be viewed from different angles and distances, just like physical objects, but they do not offer any physical resistance when touched or pushed because they don’t have any mass. • Holograms can be two-dimensional, like a piece of paper or a TV screen, or they can be three-dimensional, just like other physical objects in your real world. What is a hologram?
- 5. • While we’vemade incredible advances as an industry in the way in which we interact with computers, we are still constrained by the need to conform to the ways computers recognize our commands through mouse clicks or by touching a screen. • Using holograms, you can pin your digital content, such as apps, information, and even multi-dimensional videos, in the physical space around you, so you can interact with them in the same ways that you interact with other physical objects. Why would anyone want hologram in real world?
- 6. • Microsoft HoloLensis the first holographic computer running Windows 10. It is completely untethered – no wires, phones, or connection to a PC needed. Microsoft HoloLens allows you to pin holograms in your physical environment and provides a new way to see your world What is Microsoft HoloLens?
- 7. • Microsoft HoloLensfeatures see-through, holographic, high-definition lenses and spatial sound so you can see and hear holograms in the world around you. • Complete with advanced sensors and a new Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) that understands the world around you, Microsoft HoloLens is able to run without any wires while processing terabytes of data from the sensors in real-time. How does it work?
- 8. • Windows 10is the first platform to support holographic computing with APIs that enable gesture and environmental understanding on an untethered device. • With Windows 10, holograms are Windows universal apps, and all Windows universal apps work as holograms. • Holograms in Windows 10 will lead to entirely new ways for us to communicate, create, and explore. What does it mean to have holograms in Windows 10?
- 9. • Holographic experienceswith Microsoft HoloLens are different from existing experiences, such as virtual reality (VR). • With VR, the user is completely immersed in a computer-generated reality, or virtual world. • While immersed in a virtual world, users are best advised to stay seated or keep still to avoid collisions with physical objects they cannot see in the real world. How is it different from other VR technologies?

- 11. • Now, somepeople might say that it’s a competitive technology to Google Glass. • But, In reality, HoloLens is completely different from Google Glass. • Google’s Glass is a wearable technology with an optical head mounted display (OHMD). • It displays information like a smartphone in a hands-free format. • What it does is that it communicates with our natural voice commands and displays the Google search accordingly on your glass. • Then, there is Sony’s Project Morpheus, HTC’s Vive, Samsung’s Gear VR (and there may be more that I am unaware of). They are set to release in market by 2016. Other technologies
- 12. • Microsoft HoloLensruns on Windows 10, so developers building on Windows 10 will already know how to build for Microsoft HoloLens from a platform perspective. • Having this same foundation means that developers will be familiar with the tools and benefits of the Windows Store. • The best way to get started is to become familiar with Windows 10 by joining the Windows Insider Program. • Next, register for Build 2015. At Build, you’ll learn more about how to get started designing and developing for Microsoft HoloLens, receive details on the SDK, and meet members of our engineering team. What now? How do I develop apps for it?
