Microsoft HoloLens: At the currently ongoing Build 2015 developer conference, Microsoft just re-announced the Holographic platform of Windows.
Microsoft announced HoloLens earlier this year, but today's presentation was impressive. In the presentation, Microsoft showed a screen with Windows that you can simply control with your voice: With a "follow me" the screen moves with you as you walk around the room.
“Every universal Windows application will have these possibilities,” Microsoft said.
Apps look like small windows that move in space, but they can do more than that. They are interactive and fully functional for the end user. The demo included photos, a browser, Skype, a holographic Start menu, and even a dog on the floor (irrelevant but it existed).
In essence, it is a device augmented reality with Windows 10 that allows you to see virtual 3D "holograms" in the space around you.
The device contains a special one Hologram Processing Unit. The idea of HoloLens is to integrate this technology with Microsoft's popular Windows operating system.
There are, of course, tremendous business capabilities from applications that have not yet been developed, which Microsoft has highlighted.
The company is already working with various companies (Nasa, Unity, Legendary, Autodesk, and Disney) that are interested in discovering new ways of using HoloLens cooperationand interaction.
Announcing a holographic platform at its developer congress, Microsoft once again tries to persuade developers to develop applications for the device Microsoft HoloLens.
