PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft has released a new teaser video for its exciting foray into augmented reality, the HoloLens headset, according to Digital Spy.

The footage released at the firm's Build developer conference offers an up-close look at how the hardware is shaping up.

HoloLens works with a platform called Windows Holographic to project holographic overlays into the user's field of vision, and this has countless potential applications.

Users could hold a Skype conversation on their living room wall, or build a structure in Minecraft with their own two hands.

Microsoft also envisions the device as a tool for schools, offices, labs, and other professional contexts, and institutes such as NASA have already adopted it to aid their inter-planetary research.

The computing giant also reiterated at Build that all Windows 10 apps with be compatible with HoloLens. It wasn't kidding when it said the operating system is universal.
