On Wednesday, Microsoft released Windows 10 operating system, and science and technology: independent Hololens augmented reality helmet. It can project computer-generated objects in the real world environment. Hololens display great sense of the future, you can see a dinosaur on his coffee table, also sees a monster on the sofa.
The device is likely to use a motion sensor camera and a Kinect-like style, you can determine the wearer in an indoor location, and identifies other objects. For example, you can imagine a game, zombies break out of your bedroom window, breaking into the window. In addition, the Hololens gesture and voice control has also been added, as a fully immersive virtual reality helmet, it is still very attractive.
It is worth mentioning that, Hololens should also have the strength and the PK of other devices on the market, including the Oculus Rift that Sony's Morpheus, as well as the Google investment Magic Leap. Paul Frank iPad Mini Case
But those who experienced virtual reality developers, will think about this technology? United Kingdom the guardian asked six other virtual reality experts and see what they are saying about the Microsoft black technology.
Hrafn Thorisson,Aldin Dynamics Corporation CEO
As a prototype, Hololens should be good, it can be projected in front of you the illusion of stereo, which is very exciting. If you want to develop an excellent augmented reality system, these functions have to be done. But this is not easy to achieve.
For the virtual reality industry, emergence of Hololens is good. On augmented reality and virtual reality systems are cross-border, they all offer similar performance, user experience and interface design is very similar. If you want a simple understanding of augmented reality and virtual reality, in fact, is the key factor depends on the users want to interact with real-world objects. In order to achieve this goal, requires special hardware and software integration, such as tracking the user's hands, understanding how interactive virtual object when the response. User input is key to consumer virtual reality systems need to be optimized, so I hope we can see more hardware manufacturers to enter this field, promote faster progress.
Nick Pittom, virtual reality developer
Hololens seems to be a natural extension of Microsoft's Kinect, Kinect is like sticking your hand, but you won't be tracking, tracking object is the space around you. If we can solve the "transparency" (images become unstable, floating display) and the large viewing angle problems, then Hololens potential is very large and, of course, present its performance is quite good.
In addition, the Hololens and may bring more augmented reality games, turned the living room into a virtual playground, games people can bounce jumping on the furniture, on the table or to a car race, even at home of air wars. The "desktop experience" will let players obtain a completely different perspective of the game, the effect will be great.
Sim City is one such game, which allows players to build a mini city on the living room floor. Microsoft has learned a lot from the Kinect experience, they understand the importance of software, who currently has deployed Skype and Minecraft.

Lack of control may be a malady, in ideal circumstances, the player not only to realize their entire interaction required, and experience to respond to feedback. Hololens I see now will make the player lose some tactile feedback, so developers need for vision and hearing it again some time, to make up for losses had no sense of touch. In addition, because players are not easy to move, this number can only use gestures to control the application difficult to adapt.
It is worth mentioning that, Hololens can transform any space into a virtual environment, it is incredible. I can't wait to try the device, at least it can be my virtual projector, with my favorite character in the room playing games. Augmented reality is gradually being accepted, you can sit in your living room, favorite game character appears before them. All this is magic.
Of course, the Hololens imagine space is very large, you know every house is different, although the Player cannot turn all spaces into game scenes, but the lighting in different environment, material, color and other factors will bring about different game effects. Also, if any other player or pet to be involved, and what would it be like? Game occurs in a variety of conditions to be considered perfect in all circumstances, and make the appropriate solution, there are challenges.
Dainer Ernst, virtual reality developer
As opposed to virtual reality, augmented reality is not as "power and prestige", but I find it difficult to home living room in virtual reality, so how this technology really has access to consumers is still vague. Also, my mom has that virtual reality are a little scary.
Augmented reality's biggest plus is that it can support a social function. Imagine, Dad playing Minecraft together with their children, which can interact directly, under Dad's help, children can build a castle! There are the dungeons and Dragons game, before you see the odd and surroundings will be able to immediately change. In addition, you can play Pokemon or other games at home. It has unlimited possibilities.
Henrique Olifers,Bossa Studios co-founder
Microsoft made in the form of good. We talked about virtual reality, the first impression is definitely need to bring a helmet-mounted display, and supports wireless communication. But beyond that, there are weight, heat, and power issues need to be addressed, and therefore whether it is design, or technology solutions is a very big challenge. The Hololens body, we are very excited to see a lot of bright.
Virtual reality needs to be very powerful processing capacity, it takes a lot of CPU and GPU support. The other hand, augmented reality hardware device weight usually isn't too heavy, and independent wireless helmet, augmented reality is by far the best technology. In addition, the augmented reality can also support more social interaction features, Microsoft released the Hololens Skype illustrates this point very well. The strength is full immersion virtual reality experiences, make you fully into the surrounding reality. Not only that, from the point of view of content, augmented reality can easily deal with issues such as motion sickness, which can keep it real on the view point of reference, so developers will have more degrees of freedom, the role is more like a "creator".
Dan Page, a programmer
Looks like Microsoft has done some difficult problems in augmented reality, helmets provided they can get a better understanding of the user environment. In my view, between virtual reality and augmented reality are complementary. Leap Motion recently launched a fast switching feature, you can allow users to switch between virtual reality and the real world. Paul Frank iPad Mini Case
Equipment specifications, I'm very interested in holographic displays and what technology wants to explore whether Hololens. Microsoft's equipment in the game, engineering, planning, construction and other industries have great potential, and soon we will see engineering enterprises can also benefit from it.
I predict that there will be more social gaming experience, like animated 3D board games, interactive games (like Warhammer Warhammer) and online competitive multiplayer online games. And I personally expect to see that type of game is the command and conquer), such as Supreme Commander games.

Based on Microsoft's years of accumulated technology and development, the HoloLens did for real-world scenarios and natural gesture tracking, understanding and modeling, and real-time rendering of virtual worlds and overlay (at least). Once this step is achieved, is to subvert his Phone's core competencies.
