MICROSOFT HOLOLENS
The premier device for windows Holographic,
Microsoft Holo Lens is a smart glasses headset that is a cordless,self contained windows 10 computer. It uses advanced sensors,a high definition stereoscopic 3D optical head mounted display,and a spatial sound to allow for augment reality application, with a natural user interface that the user interacts with through gaze,voice,and hand gesture's,Codenamed project baraboo,"HoloLens had been in development for five years before its announcement in 2015,but was conceived earlier as the original pitch made in late 2007 for what would become the KINECT technology platform.
Microsoft has targeted HOLOLENS for release in "WINDOWS 10 Time Frame",with the Microsoft HoloLens Development Edition to being shipping in the first quarter of 2016,available by application to developers in the united states and Canada for a list price of US$3000. Companies such as Samsung Electronics and Asus had expressed interest in working with Microsoft to produce their own mixed-reality products based on Holo Lens
DESIGN:
THE Microsoft HoloLens design is of a visor glasses unit connected to an adjustable padded inner headband.The unit can be titled up and down,as well adjusted forward and backward
in relation to the headband.To wear the hololens,the user uses an adjustment wheel at the back of headband to secure it around the crown of their head,Supporting the weight of the unit.The user then tilts the visor down in HoloLens is projected to weigh around
0.4kg
in the brow of the unit is much of the sensors and related hardware,including depth sensors,photo/video camera,and holographic processing unit.the visor front is tinted,enclosed in the visor piece is a pair of transparent combiner lenses,in which the projected images are displayed in the lower half.the Holo Lens must be calibrated to the interpupillary distance of the individual user.
Along the bottom edges of the sides arms by wearer's ears are a pair of small red stereo speakers. As opposed to headphones,the speakers do not obstruct external sound allowing the user to hear virtual sound together with real -world environment.Using scientific models of human sound localisation,the HoloLens generates Bin aural audio,which can simulate spatial effects,such that user can perceive a sound as coming from a specific location.
on the top edge are two pairs of buttons:display brightness buttons above the left ear,and volume buttons above the right ear.Adjacent buttons are shaped differently-on concave.one convex-so that the user can distinguish them by touch.
At end of the left arm is a power button and row of five tiny LED's, which together are user to indicate system status ,as well as for power management,indicating battery level and setting power/standby mode.A micro USB receptacle for charging is located along the bottem edge.
HARDWARE:
Among the sensor types used in HoloLens is an energy -efficient depth camera with a 120degrees angle of view
a microphone array,a photographic video camera,and an inertial measurment unit includes an accelerometer,gyroscope,and a magnetometer.
In addition to a high-end CPU and GPU holographic processing unit(HPU),a custom coprocessor by Microsoft.The HPU processes and integrates data from the sensors-handling tasks such as spatial mapping,gesture recognisation,and voice and speech recognisation.according to Hololens cheif inventor Alex Kipman,the HPU proceses 'terrabytes of information' from the HoloLens's sensors in real time.
HoloLens contains an internal rechargeable battery.Battery life has been estimated at 5 hrs for activities such as word processing and email and 2 hrs for actvities with more computationally intensive workloads such as rendering
HaloLens features WI-FI and Bluetooth wireless conectivity.the headset can be paired with a bluetooth clicker, a clickable thumb-operated finger-sized input device that can be used for interface scrolling and selecting, the clicker features an elastic finger loop for holding the device,and a microphone usb receptacle for charging its internal battery
APPLICATIONS:
as of 2016,a number of windows Holographic application have been showcased or announced,centered around Microsoft HOLOLENS, these Includes
the augmented reality operating envirment for windows Holographic carries over and adapts many elements from the windows
