My cousin has been working on this for the past couple years, granted he couldn’t talk about it. Pretty cool to now see it announced.  
Thoughts?

> The prototype is amazing. It amplifies the special powers that Kinect introduced, using a small fraction of the energy. Project HoloLens’ key achievement—realistic holograms—works by tricking your brain into seeing light as matter.

It’s really neat but reminds me of a short story / video where everyone has something like this except it’s implanted in their eyes. A guy goes on a date and he’s trying to impress a girl by quickly looking up information about her and her likes.

The guys entire apartment looked like Hololens, except there was absolutely zero decoration. Blank white walls, etc. It was all virtual pictures and things that only he could see or select “share” so a guest could see.
