Microsoft HoloLens
The premier device for Windows Holographic, Microsoft HoloLens is a smart glasses unit that is a cordless, self-contained Windows 10 computer. It uses advanced sensors, a high-definition 3D optical head-mounted display, and spatial sound to allow for augmented reality applications, with a natural user interface that
the user interacts with through gaze, voice, and hand
gestures.Codenamed "Project Baraboo," HoloLens had been in development
for five years before its announcement in 2015, but was conceived
earlier as the original pitch made in late 2007 for what would become
the Kinect technology platform.
Applications
showcased for Microsoft HoloLens include HoloStudio, a 3D modelling
application which can produce output for 3D printers; Holobuilder, a
demonstration inspired by the video game Minecraft; an implementation of the Skype telecommunications application; and OnSight, a software tool developed in collaboration with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). OnSight integrates data from the Curiosity rover
into a 3D simulation of the Martian environment, which scientists
around the world can visualize, interact with, and collaborate in
together using HoloLens devices. OnSight can be used in mission
planning, with users able to program
rover activities by looking at a target within the simulation, and
using gestures to pull up and select menu commands.JPL plans to deploy
OnSight in Curiosity mission operations, using it to control rover activities by July 2015.
Among the sensor types used in HoloLens is an energy-efficient depth camera
with a 120°×120° field of view.Other capabilities provided by the
sensors include head-tracking, video capture, and sound capture. In
addition to a high-end CPU and GPU, HoloLens features a Holographic Processing Unit (HPU), a coprocessor which
integrates data from the various sensors, and handles tasks such as
spatial mapping, gesture recognition, and voice and speech recognition.
Note
that the names "Holographic" and "Hololens" are a bit deceptive since
there isn't any true holography (involving the interference of light
waves) used here.
Microsoft
expects HoloLens to be made available "in the Windows 10 timeframe" and
priced for use in both the enterprise and consumer markets
