Now with HoloLens, Microsoft is ready to change the way you see the world with the help of hologram technology.
Wearable technology in terms of eye wear is becoming quite a thing with Google Glasses and Oculus Rift making a lot of buzz in the world. Microsoft entered the arena with their own potential product, the Microsoft HoloLens. In Google Glass you see a screen in front of you. In Oculus Rift, you are immersed into a virtual reality setting. HoloLens differs from existing virtual reality technologies because in existing virtual reality technologies, the environment users has to engage is completely computer generated and for better experience for virtual reality it is better users do not engage in physical collisions. This is where HoloLens becomes game changing. It takes a different perspective by a more integrated augmented reality approaches. Meaning, with HoloLens it will project interactive objects on to the world around you and you can interact with them while you are jogging, working or even eating.

In the recent Microsoft event, they provided a demo for people to explore Mars, which makes this ideal for us to experience different parts of the world and beyond which would never get a chance to visit.
According to Microsoft, HoloLens is the first holographic computer running on Windows 10 and it has no attachments to any physical devices. Which means no wires, no connection to a pc is needed. Just wear HoloLens and enjoy the experience. HoloLens is equipped with advanced sensors to understand the beautiful world around you and it even has a Holographic Processing Unit(HPU) to interpret that amazing world to you. The device is still some time away from being available as a commercial product and hopefully it will be available in 2016. If it would be anything close to the demo video, it would definitely be worth the wait.
