Microsoft committed to HoloLens 2 and Mixed Reality
By Robin Seiler, Microsoft
On behalf of the Mixed Reality team at Microsoft, I wanted
to share some important context and insights on the Mixed Reality program at
Microsoft. The intent of this note is to help provide clarity to this community
on our commitment to HoloLens 2 and the broader Mixed Reality program.
We continue to produce and support HoloLens 2, inclusive of
monthly software updates to ensure our enterprise customers can leverage
HoloLens 2 and the supporting platform to complete critical work. We also
continue to update Dynamics 365 Guides and Remote Assist to address the needs
of those customers. HoloLens and Dynamics 365 are key components of Industrial
Metaverse deployments, connecting the benefits of digital transformation to
frontline workers in field service, factory operations, and many other use
cases. For more information, see our recent blog post highlighting some of the
progress on the HoloLens platform and how customers are seeing real-world
benefits.
Lastly, there is important and exciting work we are doing to
support the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) program. We recently
contracted with the U.S. Army to revise the IVAS product design to address
soldier feedback, a testament to our partnership with the government,
commitment to the program, and ability to rapidly iterate on product designs to
achieve results. IVAS is a great example of technology sharing between
commercial products and fit-for-purpose government programs. While HoloLens and
IVAS are very different devices, they both build on Microsoft’s long history of
developing best-in-class Mixed Reality technologies.
We look forward to sharing additional updates in the future
while continuing ongoing collaboration with our customers, partners, and
developers to innovate in this critical space.
