What Is Hololens? The Future Of Microsoft AR Tech
ITProToday, Tuesday, April 9th, 2024
Microsoft's HoloLens is an AR device with applications across industries, such as engineering, architecture, healthcare, and education.
HoloLens, Microsoft's flagship augmented reality product, is a wearable device that overlays digital 3D holograms onto the real world via smart glasses. The overlay blends virtual elements with the wearer's physical environment.
The Evolution and Capabilities of HoloLens Technology
The first HoloLens devices were released nearly 10 years ago, in 2015. These devices, though amazing for the time, had a couple of significant shortcomings. Most notably, first-generation HoloLens devices had an extremely narrow field of view. HoloLens users would sometimes walk past a hologram without even seeing it, simply because the display optics were so limited.
