Microsoft's HoloLens Will Bring Augmented Reality to Your Home

At today's Microsoft event at their Redmond, Washington compound, Windows 10 was clearly the star; but if that's the case, it had one hell of a supporting actor.

Microsoft announced today that Windows 10 would have a holographic component called Windows Holographic. And it just so happens that Microsoft was also working on a headset for that purpose, which they have called Microsoft HoloLens. As opposed to a virtual reality headset which immerses a person in an encompassing environment, such as the Oculus Rift, the HoloLens will act as an augmented reality headset, projecting holographic images into the world around a person via see-through lenses, merging the digital holograph with the physical environment.
