Microsoft’s HoloLens is one of the most magical pieces of technology I’ve ever seen. It could change the world.

Regardless of the technology’s current limitations, it blows my mind that a completely wireless headset can do what this one does.

Microsoft’s not trying to hide the HoloLens’s current flaws. The company knows the technology isn’t ready, and it sounds like Microsoft won’t set a price or release date for a consumer version until it’s a product that people will actually want to use.

They just-released Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset had two developer kits before it became a real product. The HoloLens feels like it could have the same potential. I can’t wait to see if it pans out. Holoportation can bring communication and interaction to a whole new level.

Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed, and transmitted anywhere in the world in real-time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, this technology allows users to see and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in their physical space. Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as face to face communication. WOW!
