Holographic Computing is Here
Microsoft announced a major product during it’s Windows 10 launch this week called the HoloLens. According to Microsoft it is,
Microsoft HoloLens puts you at the center of a world that blends holograms with reality. With the ability to design and shape holograms, you’ll have a new medium to express your creativity, a more efficient way to teach and learn, and a more effective way to visualize your work and share ideas. Your digital content and creations will be more relevant when they come to life in the world around you.
Microsoft’s HoloLens is expected to run Windows 10 and apps, holographic ones that will float in front of your line of vision and apps that can be run on phones, tablets, PCs and the Xbox One game console. With the holographic programs, Microsoft is trying to transform how we think about computing, productivity and communication. Just as VR rivals Oculus (owned by Facebook) and Google (although recently Google shelved Google Glass because it was too weird for people) are trying to reimagine virtual experiences with their head-worn devices, Microsoft wants us to imagine a world without screens, where information merely floats in front of you.

This looks like a perfectly timed release with Google Glass being put on the shelf, VR sets still being developed and people getting used to the idea of having more virtual reality and augmented reality in front of them, this could be the device that sets them apart, if they can do it correctly.
