Laat een bericht achterCan you still remember where you were when you first put on the Microsoft HoloLens headset? And what did you think of it at that time? A couple of years on from then, this is not such a strange question. After all, we can no longer get around the fact that at some time Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality will become part of our daily lives. Just like twenty years ago, when the Internet was the preserve of a single person and has already become one of life’s essentials, this technology will be another one that changes our lives completely. And possibly faster than you think.
All you actually need to start using some form of modified reality is a smartphone. Naturally the effect you get with an Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Microsoft HoloLens is many times greater, but in principle a smartphone is enough. In 2018 just over 36% of the world’s population will have a smartphone, whereas in 2011 this figure was just 10%! Take a moment to think about this explosive growth and you will realize that there is huge potential here to do more with this technology. And manufacturers and developers are aware of this too…
When you as the user put on a VR headset (including headphones), you are detached from reality and become completely immersed in a virtual 3D world. The gaming industry is investing heavily in the development of VR, primarily because the technology is now powerful enough to create it. The most popular VR headsets include the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive.
A good example of this is the head-up display that some car makers offer you, where a 2D image is projected in the driver’s field of vision. Another popular example is the Google Glass, which was launched a few years ago. These glasses are still in use at many companies (especially in the production department), with a new Glass for Work being launched recently.
At the current time, there is really only a single manufacturer who is offering a MR device and that is Microsoft with its HoloLens. This projects an image for both eyes onto transparent lenses, which results in a realistic implementation of 3D images in the real world. This amazing technology is something where you can really say ‘seeing is believing’. So, to experience it for yourself, please contact one of our account managers, who will be happy to let you try out the HoloLens. Manufacturer Magic Leap has also had a HoloLens in development for some time now, for which expectations are high.
