Look around. Technology is all around us. We use it in every aspect of our lives. It enables us to do amazing things. But what if we could go further? What if we could go beyond the screen� where your digital world is blended with your real world? Now we can. This is the world with Holograms. What will they enable us to do? New ways to visualize our work. I have an idea for the fuel tank. New ways to share ideas with each other. How are things going your end? I just put the images in OneDrive. Perfect. More immersive ways to play. New ways to teach and learn. So, put the new trap in the place of the new one. Now what? And tighten here and here. New ways to collaborate and explore the places we've never been. Look at this formation. Let's take a closer look. And new ways to create the things we imagine. Because when you change the way you see the world you can change the world you see. This is Microsoft HoloLens.

History
