Microsoft is taking the business world by storm to market the Microsoft HoloLens. Microsoft flagship store in NYC was host to an event that took attendees on a journey. The product showcase was split into three parts: HoloLens for gaming, for storytelling and for creating.
Windows HoloLens Will Join Hands with Windows 10 For Developers
Google and Microsoft have a similar approach when it comes to their VR headsets. They want to put their device in the hands of developers and see what happens. So far, developers have revealed that even though the Microsoft HoloLens was released 11 months ago, it still needs a lot of work.
Microsoft Collaborated with NASA, Volvo, Dassault Aviation and Cleveland Clinic
Despite the many collaboration programs the HoloLens is a part of, there are some things that the device needs to enhance to be able to work with businesses. First of all, according to developer testers, Microsoft needs to tune out the gestures that the device picks up.
The HoloLens also needs work with voice commands and an upgrade to its learned vocabulary. After wearing for more than 40 minutes, some developers felt the headset was too heavy, though better than the first generation of the HoloLens. Hopefully, the headset will be more compact and light before its release to the general public.
The Concept of Microsoft HoloLens Augmented Reality PowerPoint is Compelling
The HoloLens storytelling experience caught a lot of attention. The idea of walking through a product while it is being presented should interest many companies. There’s also a feature in this experience that allows users to see what people view in a presentation. This would make life easy for any sales executive. A heat map would identify where the selling point is, and the sales person can adjust accordingly.
Another super plus for the Microsoft HoloLens is that it doesn’t cause headaches. There is the chance of hurting the eyes. However, the Microsoft HoloLens was manageable for the most sensitive developers. This has been a very common complaint of many headsets, as well as dizziness. Developers didn’t share a significant amount of complaints about this.
What About the Playstation VR, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive?
Sony PlayStation VR will work to its own advantage. Sony would benefit most from creating a headset that is best for gaming. As for the HTC Vive, which was delayed again this year, it will also revolve around gaming and entertainment functionalities. The Oculus Rift might be a surprising take, though. Facebook has revealed intentions to make the Oculus Rift as something that will make you present anywhere. Be it at a business meeting or at a meeting with friends, the Oculus Rift will cover more bases.
Mark Zuckerberg has a lot of ambition when it comes to virtual reality. He may bring the strongest competitor to the Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens. Facebook’s headset is set to release sometime in 2016, like the HTC Vive.
All Work And No Play or Some Work and Some Play
The new headsets will have many different uses. Microsoft is aiming for business because it is what it knows best. Facebook will target the masses and make their headset social. HTC might work best for the smart device world. All of these businesses will be working to hit their target demographic and basic user profile.
It’s too early to compare these devices in terms of quality. 2016 will be filled with a lot of competition. All of these devices will go head to head. It’s going to be an exciting year for technology, and there will be many upgrades to come. We could even expect the next Avatar movie to come in VR!
