Microsoft HoloLens [Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Holograms]

AR concept being shown?

Edit: Looked like an RTS showing up in the living room.

New Devices mentioned by Terry Myerson, plus new experiences.

This is when my PR bollocks alarm went off. I switch it off for Apple events automatically.

Do you know how long is the event due to last?

We must be out of sync.

Edit: Why does he keep momentously pausing? It's like he's waiting for constant applause or whoops. Oh he got for the free Windows upgrade announcements, haha! FREE STUFF! WOOO!

So I am guessing they are going to show two new devices - phone/hybrid device and AR?

2-hour show, and with Joe up on stage I wonder how much he will take. He can talk!

Edit 2: He has a timer running! LOL Looks like he gets 34-mins

Edit 3: Cortana makes a haircut joke, same thing I thought.

They've missed a trick not having a visual Cortana model pop-up.

"HOLOGRAMS ARE REAL"

Paradigm shift if it works!

Jives with some rumors from devs that would not talk further about it. Take2, Notch come to mind.

I like this guy. He's like.. "whoa dude" and..

"I KNOW THIS SOUNDS CRAZY"

Hmmm.. ok. I don't recall C3PO(tm) wearing a HoloLens(tm) when playing HoloChess(tm) with Chewbacca(tm).

Howver.. interesting.

edit: probably should have got Robert Downey Jr to do something Iron Man-ish for this.

No, this nerd is way better. I love Microsoft for putting their nerds on display.

This headset looks like what an 80s-action-movie cyborg would wear. That's kind of awesome.

 

[Newguy]

That could be so cool. One more thing to show we're living in the future.

Impressive foveated rendering AND holographic AR AND a computer in the glasses. Though I hate wearables.

HoloStudio to make holograms which you can "3D print" to make holograms?

Microsoft.. DUDES! These aren't holograms by the popular definition. But AR rumour confirmed.

This is insane. I love VR but for that I'm interested in it for games , this however is something I can use all the time during my working day.

The real question is price. If its sub $500 then I could see it taking off and the closer they get to $100 the better it will do but if they try and go higher price it will fail.

I still think I will get a rift before this
