Along with the announce of Windows 10, Microsoft has also introduced something we've all been hoping and waiting for, the HoloLens. It is a pair of holographic glasses in which the users are given a real-time, interactive-augmented reality. The new piece of technology fits on like glasses, but bigger, covering a larger part of the face. It is controlled with gestures and voice and provides you with holographic screens and objects around your environment which you can interact with. The HoloLens is said to aid efforts in numerous professional areas, the major one being the field of medicine. It is expected to come out later this year along with Windows 10, and it seems to be that it will not be released as a prototype, but as an actual device. Despite it sounding like an awesome gadget, we will have to wait and see how it turns out when it is actually released.
Lily Hay Newman, author of this article, did a simple yet complete job while writing this article. She introduced the gadget, gave a brief explanation of what it is and how it will work. She also attached Microsoft's video for the HoloLens which make it crystal-clear for the readers who watch it how the device will function. Despite not being biased, especially because there is not really a way to bias toward something in her article, Newman sounds pretty excited for the release of the gadget. Throughout her essay, she also includes a quote from Microsoft and a Wired reporter, and a picture of the gadget being used. Her article is brief and flows nicely. She is not promoting the soon-to-be released gadget in any way, however, by reading and watching the video she attached, it made me look forward to the it's release.
