Is VR outdated? Microsoft releases holographic glasses

January 22 (Reporter Zhang Qian) When global technology companies are crazy about virtual reality technology, a holographic projection hardware launched at Microsoft's press conference today has made virtual reality glasses lose out.

Alex Kipman, head of the Xbox Kinect department, demonstrated the Win 10 holographic imaging project Windows Holographic and the holographic imaging device HoloLens at the press conference.

It is reported that when a user puts on HoloLens, a floating interface will appear, and the device can recognize where the user is staring and interact through gestures and voice. The projected image is like a real object and can be flipped and operated.

It is also worth noting that HoloLens has built-in processors and sensors, as well as holographic perspective lenses and holographic processing chips, and can be used without connecting to a mobile phone or computer. In addition, the Holographic API can be used in all Windows 10 devices.

The biggest difference between holographic projection technology and virtual reality technology is that virtual reality technology tries to restore a more realistic scene for users, while holographic projection technology combines virtual technology with reality to achieve a more realistic scene superposition. This technology is often reflected in science fiction movies. For example, as long as the character points to the object in front of him, various data of the object will appear in the air.
