[[Microsoft HoloLens]] is a [[Augmented Reality]] [[device]] developed by [[Microsoft]]. It is part of the [[Windows Holographic]] [[AR Platform]] incorporated with [[Windows 10]] OS. Similar to other [[OHMD]]s, HoloLens is a see through display worn over your eyes. Unlike [[Oculus Rift]] and [[Virtual Reality#Devices|VR Devices]], the eye-piece component of HoloLens is transparent and the headset requires neither PC nor smartphone. It is able to project high-definition virtual content or [[hologram]]s over real world objects.
