Nu finns en Hololens-app för kalender och e-post

Exakt varför man skulle vilja kolla sin kalender och e-post i så kallad augmented reality är oklart, men Microsoft måste förstås förse sin plattform på området även med de mest grundläggande funktionerna. Därför har man nu släppt appar för både kalender och e-post via Outlook för sitt headset Hololens, en enhet som väckt stor uppmärksamhet men som inte kommer att nå konsumentmarknaden förrän om några år.

 
Microsoft HoloLens på Wikipedia

Microsoft HoloLens, known under development as Project Baraboo, is a pair of mixed reality head-mounted smartglasses developed and manufactured by Microsoft Corporation. HoloLens gained popularity for being one of the first computers running the Windows Holographic platform under the Windows 10 operating system. It was introduced with operating systems, such as Android, iOS and OS X on April 5, 2015. The HoloLens can trace its lineage to Kinect, an add-on for Microsoft's Xbox gaming console that was introduced in 2010. The pre-production version of HoloLens, the Development Edition, shipped on 30 March 2016, and is targeted to developers in the United States and Canada for a list price of $3,000. Samsung and Asus have extended an offer to Microsoft to help produce their own mixed-reality products, in collaboration with Microsoft, based around the concept and hardware on HoloLens. On February 2016, Alex Kipman, the chief inventor of the HoloLens, announced that Microsoft has delayed the launch of the consumer version.
 
Windows Holographic på Wikipedia
Wikipedia (en)
Windows Holographic is a mixed reality platform developed by Microsoft, built around the API of Windows 10. Holographic works by enabling applications in which the live presentation of physical real-world elements is incorporated with that of virtual elements (referred to as "holograms" by Microsoft) such that they are perceived to exist together in a shared environment. A variant of Windows for augmented reality computers (which augment a real-world physical environment with virtual elements) Windows Holographic features an augmented-reality operating environment in which any Universal Windows App can run. In addition, with Windows Holographic Platform APIs, which are part of the Universal Windows Platform, and supported as standard in Windows 10 (including versions for mobile devices and Xbox One), mixed reality features can be readily implemented in any Universal Windows App, for a wide range of Windows 10-based devices. Microsoft announced Windows Holographic at its "Windows 10: The Next Chapter" press event on January 21, 2015. It is set to be introduced through the smart glasses headset Microsoft HoloLens, as part of the general rollout of Windows 10. The Windows 10 launch began July 29, 2015 with release of the PC version, with the Microsoft HoloLens Development Edition being released beginning March 30, 2016.
