Abstract: The Microsoft HoloLens is an untethered holographic computer that transforms ways we communicate, create, and explore. It creates high-definition, 3D holograms using advanced nano-optics and micro displays. These become part of the real world through on-board processing of data from an array of sensors continuously sampling the user’s environment. HoloLens combines all of the processing and components in a form factor that enables interaction with the real and the virtual in a most natural way.
