HoloLens is one of the most important news producthers Microsoft, but soon it won't be the only holographic experience.
Microsoft opens up its holographic platform Windows 10 and to other manufacturers. In other words, we'll soon be seeing HoloLens clones popping up everywhere.
While the holographic platform does not support the Oculus virtual reality standard, Microsoft believes that the game will be played in augmented reality applications (it prefers the term "mixed reality").
Mixed reality will allow virtual experience to interact with the real world. In addition, Windows Holographic will allow many devices to interact with each other and share a shared virtual space.
Microsoft's approach wants to bring people, objects, and devices under a single mixed reality platform. Maybe that's why Microsoft calls it "mixed." The new technology is not just coming to fill our world with new data creating a completely artificial world, but it is said to be for the seamless integration of virtual reality and the real. world.
The benefit for developers? Of course, with the Universal Windows Platform (UWP), applications can be deployed and run in holographic or virtual experience. Oculus may have the lead, but Microsoft has the breadth of an ever growing ecosystem with Windows 10.
The opening of HoloLens will give consumers more choices, but also clones. However, the biggest benefit for consumers will most likely be the price.
HoloLens currently costs 3.000 dollars, but third-party makers will likely show lower prices.
Increasing competition means better VR and AR for everyone, bringing us closer to creation of a society that lives in the Matrix not to tell its world….
