==Introduction==
The Microsoft HoloLens 2 is an augmented reality headset built by Microsoft that uses an optical see-through display. It is marketed for enterprise workers who use their hands and can't benefit from phones, tablets, or computers in the same way that other industries can. Microsoft is targeting corporations like auto shops or factory floors to re-imagine the work environment. <ref name="alpha">https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/24/18235460/microsoft-hololens-2-price-specs-mixed-reality-ar-vr-business-work-features-mwc-2019</ref>

The HoloLens 2 has both hand and eye tracking capabilities. Hand tracking includes simplified gestures compared to the original HoloLens thanks to 25 points of articulation on each hand. Eye tracking includes the ability to pinpoint something with your eyes and verbalize commands, like closing a browser. Eye tracking is new to the HoloLens line. With a camera, the device can also scan your retina to authenticate you into the platform.<ref name="alpha"></ref>
