Welcome to the world of augmented reality.
As I write this, if I look around my room, I see the weather, the NY Times, a stream of Fox news, and a large TV playing in the background. It's augmented reality. It's awesome. And it just might be the the next big thing.
Thanks to a friend, I've been using the developer edition of Microsoft's HoloLens for the last few days, and there is really nothing else like it. It's amazing.
Let's start with the hardware. It's a self contained Windows 10 PC. Of course, there's no bloatware. There's also no link to the past. This isn't going to run Wing Commander, although I guess it could. There's also no tether and no wires. HoloLens just works wherever you are.
Augmented, no...
