Earlier this week, Microsoft unveiled its "holographic" Hololens technology - a sort of Google Glass-esque headset, which projects "holograms" all over the bloody room, for pity's sake. The "holographic" device is still in development, and unlikely to be released in the pie-in-the-sky (or should that be... "hologram"-in-the-sky) form it took in their tech demo.
Nonetheless, its potential is impressive. Unlike, say, an immersive VR headset like the Oculus Rift, the Hololens allows you to still see the real world through the transparent goggles. By monitoring the position of your eyeballs, it can then project images ("holograms") into your field-of-vision, so that they appear to be really there in the room with you. Just like real holograms.
Here are ten things you'll be able to do once the Hololens hits the market.
