US Army awards Microsoft with $480M HoloLens contract

• vtesucks 8y ago
  Not trying to be snarly but on HN there isn't a lot of discussion of MS, due to what feels like reasons not related to technology but political. I can see when some small project from google changes name but big news related to MS and very much about widespread technology adoption doesn't figure (except when its negative). Now i don't mind but i am curious - is there a platform that is less politically inclined and has more tech related news? I mean i hadn't even heard of hololens and only about Oculus etc and here they are doing 1/2 a billion dollar contracts. I don't want this to happen again...

    I suspect the reason you haven't seen much about Hololens lately is that it was released in 2015. I think it's been covered pretty extensively here over the years, though. If you're curious about other sites, you could check out https://lobste.rs/ https://lobste.rs/

    It's just an hour so far. Give it more time.

  I found the HoloLens SDK to be very confusing to develop apps on. I got to try out solidworks on HoloLens which was really cool. I feel like the collaborative aspects of AR in enterprise is pretty huge.
