Is it just me or HoloLens sounds a bit like a Hooli product?
All jokes aside, given that the rendering quality improves, this could have interesting applications for scientists researching facial and body expressions in certain environments. It would enable them to replay scenes and emotions which current 2D/3D video fails to capture, especially because it allows you to change your viewpoint.
I doubt this will be a game changer for teleconferencing, mainly due to the oversized device you have to wear, but then again all these gadgets tend to look a bit creepy in their initial phases (e.g. the Google Glass prototype).
- r3bl 11y agoNASA already uses Hololens to get the scientists to feel like they're walking on Mars. Rovers basically capture the footage from Mars in all perspectives, these pictures get transferred back to Earth, and scientists are able to "walk" on Mars with as low delay as possible (of course, it takes a while to transfer the images down to Earth). It's a remarkable thing and I really do feel like Hololens (or some other Augmented Reality project) will have a huge impact on the scientific community. I did an interview with a software developer from NASA about this project: https://opensource.com/life/16/1/scale14x-interview-parker-abercrombie-nasa https://opensource.com/life/16/1/scale14x-interview-parker-a...
