What is holo lens technology and how will it help? Microsoft wins $22 billion deal making augmented reality headsets for US Army

    

HELLO FRIENDS I AM UTSAV

 

Today will announce the news of defense
of us army that will says the contract is win the Microsoft company of holo
lens over 10 year and 120000 device that use us army in training and fighting
this contract is $21.88 billion.

Microsoft has received a major contract
from us army to produce augmented reality devices for it’s force

Microsoft will produce augmented
reality based on its holo lens 2 device

According to us army it will help
in fighting, rehearsing and training using a single platform

What is holo lens technology and
how will it help?

Holo lens is mixed reality
headset device that combines high resolution night, thermal and soldier borne
sensors into a heads up display

It also uses are and machine
learning to enable a life like mixed reality training environment

The new version lets operators of
armored vehicle see through walls

Us army and Microsoft deals

Worth up to $21.88 billion for a
period of over 10 years Microsoft will supply 120,000 headsets.

Microsoft history of military contracts

In 2018 the tech giant was awarded
a $479 million contract to create prototype of the devices

After the announcement of the new
agreement Microsoft will start the production and sent it to the filed

In 2019 Microsoft was granted $10
billion contract to supply cloud services to the department of defense

Microsoft has faced some
criticism from employee’s for its work on the holo lens project for the army

But ceo satya nadella has
defended it saying the company would not with hold technology from institution
that protect the freedoms we enjoy

Following the announcement Microsoft’s
stock spiked up more than 1.5%

Race for the best ar device

Holo lens hasn’t seen any significant
hardware changes since its launch in 2019

Microsoft has been gradually
improving the software side of its holo lens headsets

It is also new part of Microsoft mesh
that will allow people to appear as them selves in a virtual space.

Microsoft is not only company in
the race Google glass and snapchat spectacles are also getting commercial contracts

Facebook reportedly has nearly one-fifth
of its employees working on vr and ar

Companies like Samsung, snap, QUALCOMM
have been showing off more prototype lately

In India jio has launched jio
glasses to complete in the ar market

7 Things about Microsoft Hololens

 1 – What is it? 

The Hololens is Microsoft’s take on augmented reality, which they call “mixed reality”. Using
multiple sensors, advanced optics, and holographic processing that melds seamlessly with its
environment, These holograms can be used to display information, blend with the real world,
or even simulate a virtual world.

 2 – How does it work?

 The Hololens has a plethora of optical sensors, with two on each side for peripheral
“environment understanding” sensing, a main downward facing depth camera to pick up hand
motions, and specialized speakers that simulate sound from anywhere in the room. The
Hololens also has several microphones, an HD camera, an ambient light sensor, and Microsoft’s
custom “Holographic Processing Unit” that they claim has more processing power than the
average laptop. All this comes together to sense the spatial orientation of the unit in the room,
track walls and objects in the room, and blend holograms into the environment.

3 – Who’s doing it?

 The Hololens was developed by Microsoft. 

4 – Why is it significant? 

The Microsoft Hololens is perhaps the most popular version of dedicated augmented reality to
hit the market to date. It’s significant that such an iconic company would invest the amount of
resources they did into such an emerging field, and shows how far we’ve come in augmented
reality, and where larger companies think we’re going.

5 – What are the downsides?
The Hololens is the first version, and when buying it online, is still called the “development
edition.” There is a commercial edition as well, but it’s obvious from the website that Microsoft
is pushing for the public to increase the utility of the Hololens by developing apps and
programs, and innovating new ways to mesh augmented reality with the world. Beyond that is
the price tag. With the development edition going for $3000, and the commercial edition
costing a tenuous $5000, the customer would hope for a fully optimized utility tool.
Unfortunately, as with most emerging tech, there isn’t a lot to do with it yet, and some of the
hand motions do feel a bit clunky.

6 – Where is it going?
Augmented reality in general is going to be a big part of our future. As inertial measurement
units and holographic processors become more optimal and smaller, large inconvenient
headsets will become a thing of the past like car phones and we’ll be able to fit an augmented
reality computer in a standard pair of glasses. This may be the first piece of technology to really
threaten the smartphone craze that’s exploded in the past decade. BMW has also put an
interesting spin on augmented reality with their concept motorcycle, the BMW Motorrad.
Instead of a helmet, the driver wears an augment reality headset that displays vehicle
information as a UI and even has road prediction technology and warning alert systems.
