Class 8, Immersive Collaboration

Microsoft HoloLens is the first fully untethered, holographic computer, enabling high-definition holograms to integrate with your world. As a HoloLens wearer, you'll still see the real world in front of you. You can walk around and talk to others without worrying about bumping into Walls. The Company is not trying to transport you to a different world, but rather bring the wonders of a computer directly to the one you're living in. Microsoft is overlaying images and objects onto our living rooms. The goggles will track your movements, watch your gaze and transform what you see by blasting light at your eyes (it doesn't hurt). Because the device tracks where you are, you can use hand gestures -- right now it's only a midair click by raising and lowering your finger -- to interact with the 3D images.

HoloLens will be able to let you view and interact with work projects such as assembling 3D models, play games like Minecraft, video chat with hologram versions of Skype contacts, and even watch live content. An on-stage demonstration further emphasized the ability to create 3D objects, from assembling to choosing the colors, all using simple gestures that looks very Intel Real Sense. One of the most fascinating uses, at least for the folks at NASA, is the potential to control the Mars rover Curiosity via the HoloLens. One of the best thing about the HoloLens is "fully wireless", which is something that Microsoft is keen to stress.
