Microsoft Includes Demos in New Flagship Store

Microsoft (Redmond, Wash.) has created an innovative hologram-creating technology using a headset called HoloLens. While not yet available for purchase, the company is debuting the technology in its Fifth Avenue flagship where software developers can put it to the test. For the general public, the company has placed a HoloLens headset on display inside the general store.

The demos are being hosted on an upper floor above the store, which opened in October. Developers can sign up to be put on a waiting list to get invited to the demos, where they will have the chance to test HoloLens in various different scenarios, including participating in a hologram video game and designing a 3-D ocean scene. Users can move around the holograms, painting them or altering their sizes, reports CNN Money.
