3. What is HoloLens?
Microsoft HoloLens is the first, fully untethered holographic computer that redefines personal computing and empowers you in new ways.
REASONS TO BELIEVE
Holograms enhance the real world
A more natural way to interact
New ways to connect, create, and explore
Advanced technology from Microsoft

4. Untethered computer
Containing more computing power than the average laptop, Microsoft HoloLens doesn’t need external wires, markers, or cameras, nor a connection to a phone or PC, so you can move freely and untethered.

5. Advanced sensors
Microsoft HoloLens has advanced sensors to capture information about what you're doing and the environment you’re in.

6. Transparent lenses
See-through holographic lenses use an advanced optical projection system, so you can see holograms in your world.

7. Holographic Processing Unit
The HPU is custom silicon that processes a large amount of data per second from the sensors, enabling Microsoft HoloLens to understand gestures, where you look, and map the world around you, all in real time.

8. Spatial sound
Microsoft HoloLens synthesizes sound so that you can hear holograms from anywhere in the room. It’s immersive, yet won’t block out the real world.

9. Microsoft HoloLens Spans Realities
Augmented Reality
Mixed Reality
Virtual Reality
Augments the real world with helpful information
Blends holograms with your real world
Can transport you to a virtual world
Replaces the real world
HoloLens embraces virtual reality and augmented reality to create a new reality—mixed reality. Virtual reality immerses you in a simulated world. Augmented reality overlays digital information on top of your real world. By understanding your environment, mixed reality enables holograms to look and sound like they’re part of your world.
How does HoloLens augment the real world with information? It allows you to place holograms in your real world and on real objects. Lock them in a physical location or let them travel with you in your holographic frame.
How does HoloLens blend holograms in your real world? Like physical objects, you can see and hear holograms wherever they are in a room around you. Even if you turn around, you can still pinpoint a hologram’s location by it’s sound.
How does HoloLens transport you to a virtual world? You can move freely and interact with holograms, people, and other tools with the added benefit of see-through lenses that preserve your peripheral vision.
