The Hololens

The Microsoft Hololens is basically a pair of glasses that augments the world around you and runs on windows.   I think it will be massively successful if it delivers on all it promises because the hype for this product is incredibly intense. I think the fact that you can be talking to someone on Skype while walking outside (while connected to a mobile hotspot) is pretty awesome.  Gaming will be lots of fun on the Hololens because it allows for mixed reality gaming where the game actually detects solid surfaces and interacts with them.  One really cool feature is the ability to place "holograms" on walls and interact with them.  If I was designing a game for the hololens I would make a sword fighting game and use the wearable hologram tech to make swords appear in your hands and make evil ninjas appear from puffs of smoke.
