About

Microsoft HoloLens is an enterprise-focused mixed reality headset that projects holographic images onto the physical world — enabling hands-free work in industrial, healthcare, military, and field service environments where workers need digital information overlaid on physical equipment, procedures, or patients without carrying a tablet or laptop. The HoloLens 2 (launched 2019, $3,500) is Microsoft's current hardware generation featuring 47-degree field of view, MRTK (Mixed Reality Toolkit) SDK, Azure Spatial Anchors for shared holographic experiences, and integration with Microsoft Teams for remote assistance.
