The dawn of the age of holograms

Published on Apr 18, 2016

Alex Kipman wants to create a new reality — one that puts people, not devices, at the center of everything. With HoloLens, the first fully untethered holographic computer, Kipman brings 3D holograms into the real world, enhancing our perceptions so that we can touch and feel digital content. In this magical demo, explore a future without screens, where technology has the power to transport us to worlds beyond our own. (Featuring Q&A with TED's Helen Walters)
 

HoloLens unboxing and first impressions

Published on Apr 20, 2016

Microsoft began shipping the HoloLens Dev Edition to select developers on March 30th and we were fortunate enough to get our hands on a unit. As you can see in the video embedded above, the HoloLens device is a thing of beauty. The package comes with a charger, carrying case, the clicker, and of course the HoloLens device itself.

In the video, you will see our friend Sean Ong exploring holograms and the field of view with the HoloLens. The initial setup of the HoloLens is quite simple, as our own Kip has explained it before: "The process of configuring the HoloLens to fit your eyes has been revamped [compared to earlier test models], although the earlier use of an external eye-measuring machine was never meant for public use. Now, you go through a config process to fit the HoloLens view to your eyes, comparable maybe to the way you set up your Xbox for Kinect. In just a few minutes you’re off and running."

"Overall fantastic experience, very well done from the HoloLens team... I don't know how they pulled this off, but this is truly remarkable," Sean emphasizes after using the device for the first time.

Stay tuned for more content regarding the HoloLens as we explore this device and you can keep an eye on this page for all your HoloLens news. Microsoft is currently shipping out Dev Edition units in waves every two to three months to select developers. It won’t be too long before the device is in the hands of a wider set of developers who will start experimenting with the holographic side of the Windows 10 ecosystem.

Microsoft Hololens 2 Hands-On: Mixed reality moves forward at MWC 2019

Published on Feb 25, 2019

Microsoft has made mixed reality less awkward. That was the major takeaway from my time with HoloLens 2, its new $3,500 headset aimed not at you (or me), but at businesses. It's not only because the headset is so much more comfortable, (though that can take a lot of the credit). Microsoft has also doubled the mixed reality field of view, making the holographic overlay less like a floating reticle and more like a (virtual) display that's useful.
