Microsoft launched HoloLens Win 10 Conference just like two years ago, Google IO, like Glass: after this meeting foreigner will say "Amazing" people say this stuff "ahead of its time". The difference two years ago, we said Google Glass, we say that is the smart glasses, telling Hololens and now we talk is AR, optics and vision. In the past two years, domestic and international media Glass inside and outside Google, from technology to privacy, from Outlook to difficulties, system but not necessarily very comprehensively stripped several times.
Above, many of the domestic team thought it was more than two years to Google Glass AR the greatest contribution.
Domestic AR circle
Early HoloLens occurred more than 10 years ago, home team already do AR. Early AR is more or less fixed pattern of the image through the camera (such as QR code), and then displays it on the screen enhanced the effect. This simple form of augmented reality input and output are relatively fixed.
In Google after the Glass in the first year and second year, many teams began to See Through the device of similar, that is, we often say that the smart glasses (on the part of the network can see Lei Feng in late 2014 produced the white paper on China's smart glasses). Marc Jacobs case iPhone 6
Smart glasses trying to See Through enhanced information anywhere, anytime, but actually kind of Google on the Glass of the device, virtual images and real integration was not easy. For example Google Glass more often just a near-eye interactive screen, relationship with the environment is not much.
To VR and AR developed interaction devices evaluation HoloLens Ximmerse co-founder He Jie is "really the first paragraph · AR equipment ". Depth VR network earlier reported Li Jin, founder of Lei Feng is considered, most of HoloLens single components, such as See Through the arc show, holographic HoloStudio content creation tools may require a team of at least medium to develop.
3 problems HoloLens
If the goal is Win 10 Conference Alex Kipman shows the effect of HoloLens has solved at least 3 questions:
1. the perception of space. In the official video for a while, the user wears HoloLens look around, a model of the House accurately landed on the coffee table and sofa, which is virtual and real world perfectly put together. The HoloLens and the Google Glass is the biggest difference.

On realization of HoloLens spatial perception, each different, said structured light three-dimensional measurement, infrared sight deep talk another camera like Kinect.
2. high strength and the miniaturization of computing power. HoloLens is a standalone device, it is the biggest load of binocular depth pattern collection and real-time rendering of holographic images. As a reference, insiders tell us that Intel's 3D camera RealSense uses its own custom processors, but in dealing with depth, CPU occupancy rate at more than half.
3. enter and interact. HoloLens camera and do two things: one is the environmental recognition and the other is recognition of gesture interaction (and unarmed accuracy). The latter point is probably very high test, when New York Times reporter Farhad Manjoo experience HoloLens prototype says gesture is not accurate, it is difficult to want to do.
Meanwhile, hand gesture recognition also faces a number of other issues, such as how to tell when the two hands appeared in the vision.
Actually completed on the HoloLens, whether at home or abroad are currently not open prototype, only a handful of media in "strict restrictions" to experience Microsoft's products, in front of us is that we cannot know HoloLens really feel.
But on the Developer Edition and volume production, several national teams to judge at this point at least half a year, there are teams that would be 4-5.
"Large" and "small but fine"
Products in any field are faced with a large or small but excellent questions, but AR and VR special case is that this area of the country team are almost all small start-up companies. As referred to by the beginning of the article Li Jin, HoloLens break open any one of the individual projects (such as optics, processors) were mega-projects. There AR has a lot of small companies are doing interesting "diversion".
Guangzhou Ximmerse does a Nimble VR and Razer Hydra's input devices. Ximmerse infrared camera gesturing with a binocular and environmental tracking, supporting embedded acceleration sensors in the gloves and light beacons, and combined with a Hydra-like controller. He Jie, co-founder of the Ximmerse said they focus on input devices.
Li Jin team in Beijing last year, finished a can track a user's view of the 3D display, they also developed a spatial positioning based on image recognition software, now they do a cell phone to track the head of the virtual reality glasses. But in General, their core spatial localization and tracking.
In the AR field like Ximmerse and Depth VR (can also be used in VR) major companies still have a lot of individual technical breakthroughs, such as last year's promise to raise more than 500,000 dollars in KS as release. These fine team, focus on a niche, and AR turns into consumer-level cash flow can be achieved, is the AR/VR run faster.

HoloLens holographic glasses
Based on Microsoft's years of accumulated technology and development, the HoloLens did for real-world scenarios and natural gesture tracking, understanding and modeling, and real-time rendering of virtual worlds and overlay (at least). Once this step is achieved, is to subvert his Phone's core competencies.
