Microsoft new idea!



Microsoft has come up with a new idea that can make a great impact. This idea might seem like Google Glass but it is not because HoloLens works with holograms rather than just focusing everything on a screen like Google Glasses. These smart glasses do not work with a phone; it is more like a computer on your head. It does not over heat so it would not cause your head to become hot because on both sides it has vents. It works by voice and sensors that detect hand movement and the environment. With the sensors it knows exactly where you are looking at. They have also designed HoloStudios where you can create a design and be able to print it out with 3D printer. That way you can see what you have designed in a tangible way.

The idea was pitched by Alex Kipman the same person that came up with Kinect on the Xbox One. The product was announced this year but Microsoft has been working on this for 7 years. The way that this works is that it tricks your mind into seeing the holograms. The glasses have 3 layers of glass in each lens where light particles bounce around into the light engine of the device where they echo between layers of blue, green, and red glass before they reach the back of the eye. The lenses are see-through so you can still see what is around you. These is meant to go public for consumers and developers, there is not much information only that it will become available in spring. The design works well because it is not concentrate on one side it is distributed evenly along the glasses and there not ugly their decent. As far as the idea goes it is also great being able to see what you are working on right in front of your eyes and being able to touch it and rotate it like a 3D object. The idea can help engineers, scientific studies, and designers the possibilities are endless.
