[Video] New Microsoft HoloLens videos show promise
Microsoft is demoing a lot of things at the ongoing Build 2015 conference being held in San Francisco, California. The software giant is demoing a lot of new software bits along with some new hardware information. The HoloLens is the hardware bit that was demoed earlier today.
Microsoft is going to reveal more details about the HoloLens and the things it can do for you at the upcoming E3 conference later this year. Meanwhile, in today’s demoes, the company showed off the hardware capabilities of HoloLens, which is going to utilize apps made for the Windows 10 and Windows Holographic platforms. The HoloLens will come with a built-in battery, floating audio, hands-free support and a visor that will accommodate content that will be projected by apps built on the Windows Holographic platform.
“Holographic computing promises whole new ways for us to create, collaborate, work, and play. We look forward to showing and telling you more at E3, the world’s premier trade show for computer and video games and related products.”
In another video, Microsoft shows off the benefits of holography and viewing content in 3D right next to you. This can be useful especially for designers, who currently have to imagine things drawn in 2D when there is no access to their designing computers.
