Windows 10: This is Microsoft HoloLens

Probably the most interesting part of the presentation
Everything else :/

 

Hi

Big 3D fan here.
I use Nvidia 3D Vision and it works great but it would be wild to get free of the monitor sometimes.

I've dabbled around creating 3D models that I can view in stereo and creating 3D video as well.

I play a lot of 3D games in 3D Vision and the technology has really gotten so much better that I actually forget that I'm wearing the glasses.

I remember the dizziness headaches and eyestrain, I don't get any of that any more.
I just wonder it I will be able to focus on the image with the glasses not on the screen.

I'd like to give it a try.

If any of you have issues with seeing your monitor clearly, go to your optometrist and tell him exactly how far you sit from your screen, (measure it) and he will make you a set of glasses that focus at that distance.

I just leave then sitting next to my monitor.

It made a world of difference for me.

I just go to one of those 2 pair of glasses for $69 and have a couple of pair made.
Since my eyes change over time fairly quickly, (I'm 76) I get new ones at least once a year.

I'd love to have one, but i guess the price will be far beyond of my budget...

*Sad

 

It really does not have to be too expensive, most of technology is already here, GPUs more than capable, micro HUD displays exist, fast wireless too, it's more the case of putting everything together and SW.

 

I get upset with myself, because I am simply not a headgear type of guy, I wish I were.

I dislike wearing headphones, my 3D glasses, or an earpiece speaker phone. I can stand it about 2 hours max, then take them off, throw them in a corner, and sigh a big "aawwww, that's better".

Maybe, I could just get eye implants instead?

 

When the hardware advances far enough, the device might go through a similar evolution of the cell phone:









If you stretch the envelop, devices like this and Google Glass could have medical applications to improve sight for people with impaired vision. And stretch to the breaking point - contacts.

But that would be a stretch *Wink

 

Amazing idea, I really love the concept. Best of Luck HoloLens' developers and their Team *Biggrin

 

You bet I will be. I play around in 3D CAD all the time, to be able to do what that one picture shows would be mind blowing. Heck, even if it only does part of what that pic shows would great.To actually see what I have designed with out having to spend thousands for a 3D printer would be fantastic.

Another hands on review - Microsoft HoloLens: My personal hands-on experience with the future - Neowin

 

This is unbelievable! Simply amazing!

The HoloLens has so much great potential to revolutionize the computing space, graphic design, GPS navigation, and ESPECIALLY online commerce. Just think about the fact one day you could be on amazon and you can physically see and manipulate something before you can buy it. That's such a problem when it comes to online retail versus brick-and-mortar retail is the fact you can't actually hold it in your hands let alone have a physical scope of the object.

This is literally the makings of the HoloDeck from Star Trek, just unbelievable! And even more incredible, it's a standalone device unlike that dinky googly glasses that only works with a smartphone.

 

Something most people may not see if you install on a VM...

If you install on real hardware with a GPU, then 9926 installs 3D Builder, a 3D modeling program included directly with Windows. It's in the store and you can download it separately, even on Windows 8.x but it's included by default in 10 when you have a GPU. Kind of cool.

You can use it to build 3D models for 3D Printing.

3D Builder app for Windows in the Windows Store
