Beijing time January 23 news, "New York Times" printed version published an analysis article said that although Microsoft at the press conference on the holographic projection headset HoloLens demonstration of the strict control, not allowed outside shooting, only a few reporters trial Prototype, but the presentation of HoloLens is amazing, and interacting with holographic images may become an important part of how we use machines in the future. However, the practicality of HoloLens is limited, and the gesture control mechanism needs to be improved.

Holographic projection headset HoloLens

The following is a summary of the article:

In the IT industry, demonstrating new technologies in a way that is dubious will generally work well. This is especially true for Microsoft's holographic projection headset HoloLens, which was released on Wednesday. A few reporters were allowed to try HoloLens for a few minutes.

The presentation of Microsoft HoloLens is almost entirely controlled. Microsoft is silent about HoloLens' performance in a more natural environment and prohibits the use of video equipment. The hardware Microsoft showed to the media is just a prototype. It consists of two parts, including a heavy power socket and a rope that binds the machine to the computer.

Shocking effect

Excluding Microsoft's above limitations, HoloLens's presentation is amazing and shocking. The stunning performance of HoloLens indicates that interaction with holographic images may become an important part of how we use machines in the future.

Microsoft is not just playing on HoloLens, the software giant has done a lot of engineering research and development work on this project. HoloLens looks a lot like a ski goggles. When the user wears the device, they will see a three-dimensional digital control interface, such as buttons, lines, and pictures. The sheep in the "My World" game will also be superimposed on the world around you.

The resolution of HoloLens holograms is not very high, and sometimes it is a bit dark. But its response is sensitive enough to immediately create a true illusion that is far beyond imagination.

In a demo session, a "My World" game scene is displayed in a real living room. The Microsoft staff asked the participants to choose a virtual hammer to smash the coffee table in the room. The staff meant to let participants interact with real objects using virtual objects. Participants were shocked by the scenes that occurred after following the instructions of the staff. In front of the participants, the real coffee table split into virtual pieces and then disappeared. HoloLens perfectly removes the coffee table from the environment.

Limited practical application

However, more important than the performance of the device is its practicality. The prospects of virtual reality are often raised in the tech world, but the actual use seems to have been limited. Microsoft spent a lot of time thinking about how users would use panoramic images.

In addition to My World, Microsoft also showed three other scenarios available to HoloLens. One is to make a call using the Microsoft Video Call Service Skype. The participant called the electrician and asked the latter to teach him to install the light switch. When the participant installs the switch, the electrician is superimposed on the participant's field of vision. Since the HoloLens is equipped with a camera, the electrician can see what the participants see. The electrician can draw a picture in the participant's field of vision and teach him to install the switch.

In another scenario jointly developed by Microsoft and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, participants entered a Mars environment. A desktop computer was set up in the demo room, which shows a flat map of Mars. When clicking on a location on the 2D screen, participants can look around the entire house and see a flag inserted in the clicked position.

In the third scenario, Microsoft showed off a HoloStudio app. It allows beginners to design 3D objects and then send them to a 3D printer for true printout.

Short board

One of the big drawbacks of HoloStudio is its gesture operation mechanism. To select an object, the participant looks in a particular direction and then clicks on the finger in the air. But when the participant clicks or when the machine loads, there will be a slight delay. Moreover, accurate pointing is also more difficult. However, Microsoft is still showing an early version of this show, so it should be improved. Microsoft did not disclose the release date or price of HoloLens.

HoloLens will inevitably be compared to Google Glass. The two devices have a certain similarity: they all mix digital images and everyday life, and they look silly after they are worn.

But the experience with HoloLens is very different from Google Glass. Since Google Glass mainly excludes digital images from the user's field of view, it is more suitable for use in the public environment; HoloLens is to immerse users in the digital environment. Google Glass is more like a replacement for a mobile phone, and you can get information quickly at a glance; HoloLens is more like a replacement for a PC.
