This month marks the beginning of the initial developer rollout of HoloLens, which I consider to be the first device that moves beyond augmented reality and virtual reality to altered reality. While there has been a lot of focus on gaming, the initial opportunity for this technology is mostly in commercial deployments. With applications ranging from modeling, architecture, space planning, emulation and telepresence, this product could massively improve and disrupt how industries operate. However, one area that I don’t think folks are thinking of for HoloLens is video conferencing.
