whilst blending in the holographic computing right in front of their eyes, the microsoft ‘hololens’ platform allows the consumer to never lose sight of the environment around them with its clear transparency. it can be controlled using gestures to create, shape and size digital content, sight to navigate and probe, and voice to communicate with the apps. with these commands, the headset enables users to transform rooms into a canvas for projects and games, to gain instructions for difficult tasks via ‘holonotes’ on skype, and view reality from a colleague’s perspective. the technology is in the prototype development stage but the company are collaborating with creators in order to analyze new holographic experiences for people around the world to use.
