You can work like this…

4. What is Augmented Reality?
• Augmented Reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical,
real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or
supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as
sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
• AR is the integration of digital information with live video or the
user's environment in real time. Basically, AR takes an existing
picture and blends new information into it.

5. What is HoloLens?
• Microsoft HoloLens is the first
holographic computer running
exclusively only on Windows 10.
• It is completely untethered i.e. no wires, phones or connection
to a PC required.
• Microsoft HoloLens uses Augmented Reality (AR) Technology
that allows it to pin Hologram in your physical environment.

6. A new way of Computing
• Windows 10 is the first platform to support Holographic
Computing with APIs that enable gaze, gesture, voice and
environmental understanding on an untethered device like
HoloLens.
• Microsoft HoloLens, together with Windows 10, brings
high-definition holograms to life in real world.
• As holograms, digital content will be as real as the physical
objects in the actual world.

7. How does it works?
• The HoloLens will track your movements, watch your gaze and
transform what you see by blasting light at your eyes.

8. What’s inside the HoloLens?

9. Some Technical Specification
• However, Microsoft doesn’t officially announced the technical
specification of HoloLens.
• But, as expected there may be:
• CPU: Intel Atom Cherry Trail 2.7GHz
• GPU : Intel Atom Cherry Trail 2.7 GHz
• HPU: Holographic Processing Unit
• See- through high definition Holographic Lenses
• Infrared Optics

10. Continued…
• Hardware:
• Kinect
• 2 micro projectors
• Battery
• 2 8.0 MP(with ultra HD resolution) camera
• It comes with 18 sensors which includes Gazing Sensors, Gesture
Recognition Sensors, etc.
• 2 stereo speakers with built in spatial sound.
• Multi array Microphones

11. Continued…
• Software:
• As said before HoloLens only works with Microsoft Windows 10.
• HoloBuilder (Minecraft)
• HoloStudio
• HoloNotes
• Specially Customized Skype

12. Features of HoloLens
• Transform your world with holograms
• Microsoft HoloLens brings high-definition
holograms to life in your world, where
they integrate with your physical places,
spaces, and things.

13. Continued…
• Go Beyond the Screen
• As holograms, your digital content
will be as real as physical objects
in the room. For the first time,
holograms will become practical
tools of daily life.

14. Continued…
• New ways to teach and learn
• It’s easier to show than to tell, so do both.
With Microsoft HoloLens, friends and
colleagues can help you with difficult tasks
using HoloNotes in Skype.

15. Continued…
• Create what you imagine
• Use holograms to visualize how
something will look in the
physical world whether it’s a
new piece of furniture in your
home, a toy or a new creation
for work.

16. Continued…
• Explore places you’ve never been
• Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory will soon be exploring
Mars using holograms of Mars
Rover images.

17. Competitors
• Magic Leap
• Samsung Gear VR Headset along with Galaxy Note 4
• Sony Morpheus Headset
• Google Glass
• Facebook’s Oculus Rift

18. Advantages
• No cords, no phones, no wires, no tethers.
• Transparent lens and advanced sensors allow you to see your
world and move confidently in it.
• Lightweight and adjustable to fit any adult head size. Work and
play comfortably.
• Built-in spatial sound lets you hear holograms wherever they are
in the room with pinpoint precision.
• Next-generation technology enabled by Windows 10.

19. Some problems
• However, Microsoft HoloLens is the best technology till yet, it
has certain technical and non-technical problems:
• Price and Battery Life Unknown
• Can’t wearable if you wear glasses
• On the long run it heats up
• Less Focus on virtual things
• Camera Tracking is not enough
• Color depth should be improved

20. Cope up with the Problems
• As I study HoloLens, I found some problems and solutions to it.
• As mentioned earlier, Microsoft hasn’t announced technical
specifics and price, it may be possible that it disinterests people.
• The design of Microsoft HoloLens is fix. It can’t be adjustable.
• The Device Should be Flexible adjustable.

21. Continue…
• Like every computing device HoloLens Heats up in long use.
• Microsoft should use some cooling technology.
• Biggest problem with most AR technologies is less focus on
virtual objects.
• To fix this, Light Field Display should be used.

22. Continue…
• Though the camera has high FOV depth, Tracking is not so
impressive.
• For avoiding this problem, sub-millimeter tracking accuracy and
response time should be 20ms of total latency.
• Colors of virtual things are not so realistic and it doesn’t filters
light from the real world object.
• Use technology like Ambient Light Sensors.

23. Conclusion
• Holographic computing experiences with Microsoft HoloLens is
different from existing technologies. It is more rich, more
responsive and more capable.
• Microsoft HoloLens is capable of creating beyond your
Imagination.
• The team of scientists is working with creators and developers
all over the world on exciting new HoloLens to make it more
precise and accurate.

24. HoloLens is a step into the future; A future
beyond your imagination…
That’s why
When you change the way you see the world,
you can change the world you see.
