  • Microsoft Revealed Holographic Goggles Today - Meet HoloLens

    Microsoft decided to take the lid off of their augmented reality device, HoloLens. HoloLens is being shown off right now to those in attendance at the Microsoft event going on today. It is basically a head mounted device that augments your reality around you. Wired and HoloLens inventor Alex Kipman have some of the technical details on how this is achieved.
    To create Project HoloLens’ images, light particles bounce around millions of times in the so-called light engine of the device. Then the photons enter the goggles’ two lenses, where they ricochet between layers of blue, green and red glass before they reach the back of your eye. “When you get the light to be at the exact angle,” Kipman tells me, “that’s where all the magic comes in.”

    Microsoft says that the device "adds holograms to the world around you." The device contains a CPU, a GPU, and a "dedicated holographic processor." The visor can be looked through and it also includes "spatial sound so you can 'hear' holograms behind you." It's slated to be released within the Windows 10 timeframe, which is still a large stretch of time.

    How does this related to games? Well...


    That's just one possibility of many.

      To coincide with Microsoft's reveal at the Build Developer Conference, Unity revealed that they will include full support for the Microsoft HoloLens.

      For those unaware, Microsoft HoloLens is Microsoft’s self-contained holographic computer headset, enabled by Windows 10, which is able to render high-definition holograms.
