This was announced at the briefing, some notes about the device:
- The HoloLens includes a CPU and GPU as well as a third processor, one Microsoft invented and it's calling a holographic processing unit.
- Holographic computing can be handled natively with no markers, no external cameras, and no connected PC
- The Microsoft HoloLens should be able to understands where a user is looking, along with their voice and gestures. It can spatially map the world around it. It also runs without wires, and processes terabytes of info in real time.
- Works with Microsoft Holographic, the new VR technology that is integrated into Windows 10.
- There's also spatial sound, to give a 3D perspective of audio as well as the immersive graphics.
- Microsoft HoloLens is supposed to be released sometime in "the Windows 10 time frame" but there's no word on a price tag. However, it will be used by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to help control the Curiosity Mars Rover and offer scientists a more interactive way to view Mars.
Edit: Microsoft HoloLens not Windows HoloLens my bad -.-
