Microsoft shows how we will look in the future sports with augmented reality
Next Sunday will be played the highly anticipated Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and Microsoft took the opportunity to give us an idea of what to expect from augmented reality and HoloLens.
Microsoft has released a promotional video showing how the augmented reality solutions like Microsoft HoloLens can change the way of enjoying sports events and what all this will mean in terms of involvement. The Redmond wanted to take advantage of the Super Bowl, a very important event for the Americans, and not just to give a taste of the potential of the new technology, which of course we will see the market only a few years.
The Super Bowl will be held next Sunday in the Silicon Valley between Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos and Microsoft will be included among the official sponsors of the event. It is for this reason that you will see many Microsoft Surface in the match.
Microsoft intends to implement the augmented reality technology more reliable and solid, but must defeat the fierce competition from rivals such as Magic Leap and Facebook in a market that, according to analysts estimates, will be worth $ 120 billion by 2020. It comes to mind-boggling figures for solutions that should radically change the world of technology than we know today. Surely 2016 will be the year of virtual reality, but for augmented reality, we can frame as a mobile variation of the first, we have to wait more.
Unlike Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, Microsoft HoloLens will be a platform in its own right, that is equipped with hardware necessary to render three-dimensional images. Why not require interfacing to a computer and it will work independently of the smartphone.
