This is a big day for Microsoft as they announced more highlights about Windows 10 to the public. More focus on one operating system to rule them all (devices) and support for new future technologies.
Windows 10 will support all devices in the PC family, including computers, tablets, phones, laptops, etc. No longer needing multiple ports of the same OS, Windows 10 will adapt itself to the device that it is installed on. This allows for developers to support all platforms in a single app, including Xbox.
Any devices 8-inches and above in size will have access to the Windows desktop and applications. Anything screen smaller than 8-inches will only have access to the tiled UI and cross-platform apps.
This isn’t something we aren’t familiar with since Android has already been playing with this, but it is a much larger roll-out when you look at how many devices it will play with.
Possibly one of the biggest announcements though was the HoloLens. Microsoft showed off a new technology that allows holograms to interact with your daily life both at work and home. Demonstrating its uses in a professional environment, as well as the recreational environment by bringing in elements such as Skype communication and video games (ie, Minecraft). They pointed out that this will be one of the future technologies that Windows 10 will support.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t fall into a project wastebin anywhere, as this would make Kinect look like the toy that it is overnight. I know our office would be swarming with these glasses if given the chance.
They seem to be pretty deep into its development, so its pretty safe to say that this is something you should be expecting, hopefully later this year or sometime next.

You could play minecraft on this thing.
For the first time ever, Microsoft HoloLens seamlessly blends high-definition holograms with your real world.Holograms will improve the way you do things every day, and enable you to do things you’ve never done before.
Hey you know google glasses? We did the same thing and integrated holograms.hehehehehe like anyone would believe that.
porn’s going to be more amazing
That’s amazing I hope that i could be one of the first who get one!
*Future Technology*Transform your World with Holograms
think il wait a few months for apple to make an exact copy, thank you.
*the moment when my dreams have come true* im going to have a cortana AI!
as always – the programs which were done by the actual holo lens designers – are mediocre. They are very basic just as Paint was for windows. But now – we have Photoshop and ZBrush.. And i’m amazed of possibilities to come when actual applications proffecionals will produce high end programs for hololens. It will be a blast. I’m very dissapointed by the hololens presentation on E3 2015. They could have transformed an entire stage to the minecraft. not just table. they could have made a Doom presentation in hololense – where person actually stands inside the environment. I’m now waiting for 2 things. Hololens – next version and applications made for it as well as adaptation of the older games for it.
Microsoft HoloLens – Transform your world with holograms
O criador do Kinect e do HoloLens é brasileiro! Curitibano! Alex Kipman. o brasileiro é muito criativo!
Im founding the church or childhood amazement where we shall all dawn a halolens and say a prayer to the might ash ketchum and yugi moto before we engage in battle and duels
This isn’t holograms. This is closer to those AR cards on a Nintendo 3DS.A hologram is of somehow controlled light projected in mid-air, without the need of external thingies like special glasses or a surface of glass for the “hologram” to be on. This also looks more like a concept video rather than an actual showcase of what the thing does.
Idk why, but this just makes me want to laugh. A lot.
Sword art Online is REAL!!!
MINECRAFT!
The future is now.
Im sorry but this shit isn’t gonna work. its gonna be buggy and make everyone dissy and puke. still gonna buy it tho. shut up and take my money!
Thumbs up for Microsoft. Legally waiting for the release of HoloLens .Are You Ready ……?

i need help with the windows 10 free upgrade. I dont see an icon on the bottom right and i have a windows 7 home premium and i already got sp1. plssss help
holy shit take my money
I presume these aren’t real holograms (3D images created by shining a laser through a suitable dataset) but fake 3D images made by showing different 2D image overlays to each eye and not called Virtual Reality (Goggles for which have been failing to sell for 30 years) to give it a sexier name – or am I wrong?
Are you sure this is Microsoft’s plan. Looks like something Google would do
Farq me! Will anyone even speak face-to-face in 10 years time? And everyone will ‘see’ the same things?
Wait, so I do NOT have to buy a TV anymore if I Hololens? I could just virtually watch it on some freaking wall?
I still prefer to have a REAL dog!
??????HoloLens?
this is such a giant load of bs it makes me want to barf.it will be heavy, awkward, bulky, needing lots of charge, and won’t be user friendly like this magical Hodge podge of lies.

RIP, Google Glasses.
So THAT’S why they bought Minecraft? FOR AN AD? Wow you guys do really waste your money on stuff.
Apparently Microsoft doesn’t know what a #hologram is… but no fear, by 2050, the #Microsoft #HoloLens should be a stable release!(It will definitely be cool when a) it becomes affordable and b) when we can actually play with #augmentedreality .)
I think I accidentally time jumped into the future…
This… IS AMAZING AND CREEPY AS FUCK AT THE SAME TIME! Imagine…. everyone in the city going around with this on there eyes playing minecraft… THE ULTIMA PORTABLE GAMING DEVICE LOLOLOLOLOL!
Les HoloLens, ca promet ! Je les attend avec impatience !Un amis a Testé pour moi et sa marche vraiment bien !https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aThCr0PsyuA
I see myself acting like Tony Stark in my project areas looking at stuff.. and doing research.. badass !
