Microsoft HoloLens

[Cpt.Tall]

Holographic computing is here.

When you change the way you see the world, you can change the world you see.


Microsoft HoloLens is the first fully untethered, see-through holographic computer. It enables high-definition holograms to come to life in your world, seamlessly integrating with your physical places, spaces, and things. We call this experience mixed reality. Holograms mixed with your real world will unlock all-new ways to create, communicate, work, and play.

Transform your world with holograms.


For the first time, holograms will become practical tools of daily life. Interact with them to learn, or create something new. When you share your ideas, show and tell from multiple perspectives. Your digital content and creations will be more relevant when they come to life in the world around you.

Some programmers started to create HoloPorn ( true story ) pervert nerds will get a lot of fun. It will be officially released when windows 10 will be released , not beta versions same as today's windows . 10 version
Actually :

Sorry to say but it look like Microsoft's demonstration of HoloLens is a bit deceptive.

This is the view that Microsoft showed the world to represent what a user wearing HoloLens sees.



This is the experience that they were being sold. BUT HoloLens does not have this kind of view. It is far more limited and a lot of people don't seem to know this. In reality, this is all you see as far as Hololens goes.

People often imagine virtual and augmented reality fusing, but with HoloLens around, the two start seeming very distinct indeed. Its images are astonishingly good, on a level that VR's magnified screens will probably never match. It's smaller than any virtual reality device on the market, partly because it usually doesn't need to power an entire photo-realistic environment. Microsoft has put much more work into building things that people can use, not just things they can see. But it's hard to imagine how Microsoft (or anyone) could get the HoloLens projection system to support a field of view big enough that it can stop being distracting, let alone become immersive on a VR-like scale. As cool as HoloLens can be, it's firmly a product of today, not the future — at least not yet.

And last week Microsoft confirmed that the Field of View will Likely not Improve

Microsoft's HoloLens headset has surprised the world in recent months thanks to its impressive use of augmented reality. While an initial demo of developer hardware back in January left us amazed and intrigued about the possibilities for HoloLens, subsequent demonstrations of near-final hardware have one big problem: field of view. I've used both versions of HoloLens (the dev unit and headset model) and there's a big difference between the two. The demo back in January (with dev hardware) was a lot more immersive, but the unit I tried on my head back in April was disappointing. Instead of being immersed, it's like looking through a letterbox.

Microsoft is aware of the issues and feedback. During an appearance at Giant Bomb live during E3, Microsoft executive Kudo Tsunoda provided an insight into the company's thoughts on the feedback. "The hardware isn't final so none of the things are completely done," says Tsunoda, who works on HoloLens and brought Kinect to life at Microsoft. "I think you're never going to get to full peripheral field of view, but certainly the hardware we have the field of view isn't exactly final. But I wouldn't say it's going to be hugely noticeably different either."

If Microsoft isn't planning to drastically improve its HoloLens field of view, then that's not good news for the headset's initial prospects. It's a widespread complaint amongst those who have used the headset both at Build and E3, and Microsoft's response suggests very little is going to change. While it's never going to be as immersive as virtual reality, the clipping on HoloLens distracts from the experience and the illusion is lost as a result. It's still not clear when Microsoft plans to launch its HoloLens headset, or why the company can't improve the field of view "hugely noticeably." The hardware shown recently at E3 is near the final stages, which suggests Microsoft may be ready to launch HoloLens a lot earlier than many expect.

The fact that only a portion of your perspective is altered in a consistent space drastically changes how immersive the experience is. It is still some cool technology, but it is a far cry from what they demonstrated. Really disappointing.
