Designed in 2015, the Microsoft HoloLens was one of the early commercial augmented reality headsets. 👓
Pitched as a type of wireless computer, the HoloLens comes in the shape of a curved visor that projects holograms in the user’s physical environment. Users can both place the holographic objects and interact with them. The main innovation of HoloLens was that rather than trying to block users from reality and their environment, it embeds holographic objects into the world around them now known more commonly as augmented reality. The visor was optimised ergonomically for peripheral viewing and uses infrared light to dimensionally track not only the user’s hand gestures but also the room around the user. Its spherical visor understands where users are looking, it recognises their voice commands and can spatially map their surroundings. 🤖
