Holograms
At the press event at its Redmond, Wash., campus, Microsoft's Alex Kipman, a technical fellow and the engineer credited with Kinect, outlined the following:
* HoloLens, a headset for virtual reality and hologram collaboration.
* HoloStudio, a development tool to create applications.
* Windows 10 APIs for developers to create holographic apps
Windows 10 has been built to integrate holographic representations of its software. With the companion HoloLens headset, Windows 10 users can interact with holograms all around them. HoloLens see-through lenses represent a big step over Google Glass, in which computer-generated elements appeared in the world surrounding the wearer.
HoloLens can map the world around you and display holograms that appear to be in thin air or on objects that surround you.
Using Windows 10's HoloStudio app, you can create 3-D objects with their voices and gestures (like pinches and flicks) and then print them on a 3-D printer.
