Hololens represents Microsoft’s long-awaited foray into the world of virtual reality, although interestingly the company has chosen to focus instead on augmented reality.

In a demo at last night’s Windows 10 reveal, Hololens was revealed as part of the operating system’s push away from the desktop and tablet market and into the home.
