	The transparent dual displays are made of three layers of glass (red, blue and green). A light engine is mounted above the displays and projects light on the lenses. The tiny corrugated grooves in each layer of glass diffract these light particles, making them bounce around and helping to trick your eyes into perceiving virtual objects at virtual distances.

	The [[field of view]] where the ~~holograms~~ appear is quite small - 30° horizontal and 17.5° vertical. It is the same as a 16:9 monitor with 15 feet diagonal, 2 feet away from you face.

	[[Microsoft HoloLens]] is an [[augmented reality headset]] developed by [[Microsoft]]. It is part of the [[Windows Mixed Reality]] [[AR Platform]] incorporated with [[Windows 10]] OS. HoloLens is an optical see-through head-mounted display. It may be similar to other [[OHMD]]s (optical head-mounted displays). Unlike the [[Oculus Rift]] and other [[Virtual Reality#Devices\|VR Devices]], the eye-piece component of HoloLens is transparent and the headset requires neither PC nor smartphone.

	Microsoft HoloLens runs a self-contained Windows 10 computer. It features an HD 3D optical head-mounted display, spatial sound projection and advanced sensors to allow its users to interact with AR applications through head movements, [[#Gesture\|gestures]] and [[#Voice\|voices]]. Microsoft has said that “The key to a great holographic experience is holograms that are light point rich, i.e. have a high holographic density, and are pinned or anchored to the world around you. To achieve this, HoloLens has been designed for optimal holographic density of 2.5K radiants. The more radiants and light points there are, the brighter and richer the holograms become.” <ref name=”four”>Roberts, J. (2016). What is HoloLens? Microsoft’s holographic headset explained.
