Technological advancements over the last 40 years continues to amaze people. It was just 16 short years ago, humans worried about Y2K and here we are today, looking for the newest and latest trending gadget. Most consumers first experience with Microsoft was in 1990 with the release of Windows3.0 (Microsoft, 2016). Over the last 25 years Microsoft launched six different operating systems, getting better each and every time with their latest operating system being released in 2015. Windows10 provides users with countless applications and features to include Microsoft’s latest development of their HoloLens. Microsoft’s advancements have made desktops, laptops, gaming consoles, cell phones, and tablets affordable for everyone. In 2013, …show more content…
Most consumers have at least one movie using 3D disposable glasses and Microsoft is advancing that technology by allowing their HoloLens wearer to view everything from a different perspective and alter the images they view. Product Type Consumers have been demanding their technology gadgets for years and this is one area of the consumer market not slowing down. Microsoft is not the first company to offer the 3D consumer technology, according to the University of Southern Maine (2016), who reports they have experience with using Meta’s headsets. Consequently, the Universities’ CI2LAB is the first to fully test Microsoft’s HoloLens in the world (Maine, 2016). Considering Microsoft’s advancement in this type of technology, they have developed the latest innovative product. Based on the definition of Neil Richardson and Ruth Gosnay (2010), Microsoft has developed, designed and is currently limited their sales of their completely and radically new HoloLens to millions of consumers. Almost simultaneously, Microsoft was developing the HoloLens while developing Windows10. This was a smart choice for them to combine the product development of these two latest advancements. Moreover, it will help save them millions, maybe even billions of dollars in R&D considering Windows10 operating system already has applications customers can use with these glasses. From a marketing perspective and review, Richardson and Gosnay (2010) explains Microsoft is currently in the sixth
Although this specific program will likely not become available to average consumers, the same foundations for the simulation will be available on the marketplace while being affordable at the same time. In time, applied use of virtual reality such as the Oculus Rift will become mainstream and accepted in everyday life not only due its entertainment value, but also due to its affordability for consumers everywhere. Thoughts of virtual reality often resemble fantastical scenarios reminiscent of scenes in movies with similar themes like Gamer, The Matrix, Total Recall, and Inception. After one delves into the VR technology in products such as the Oculus Rift, one will begin to believe, and he or she will brace themselves for the tidal wave that is the paradigm shift of virtual reality.
Virtual reality is an interesting topic. Today, technology develops so rapidly, and it becomes a vital role in society.
When I talking about 3D holograms what exactly comes to mind? A Sci-fi game, a film maybe even comic book. I'm talking about the future of medicine. Doctors are the miracle workers for the general public. Dedicating years of study and sacrifice to help others. So wouldn't it make sense to give them better tools to save more lives?
Did you know televisions as well as 3D films were being created in the 1900's? Upon being fabricated, television as well as 3D films-overall known as technology-has since revolutionized into as follows: phones, flat screen TVs, tablets, and even virtual reality. When technology was first constructed, people believed that the future would have a great deal of new technology. According to "The Technology behind 3D Films" Holographic projection and other new technology that once seemed like science fiction will be the needed break through that will appeal to mass audiences. This statement proves to be right because technology plays a substantial role in today's society, thinking back, technology expolded with popularity.
The Oculus Rift may look like a relatively simple device but it's actually a pretty amazing piece of kit packing a wealth of cutting-edge technology. The hugely promising virtual reality headset includes a whole bunch of
Imagine a world, that is anything and everything. Race a dream car. Meet a superstar. Go to Paris, New York, London, or even see the Great Pyramids. A virtual reality - an idea that is coming to life, an idea that will change the world, whether it be good or bad. Ernest Cline, the author of Ready Player One, warned us that virtual reality is going to change the world. Ready Player One is a story about a teen named Wade, in a world where video games are everything. A virtual reality world called the OASIS changed the world into a place where people are antisocial and don’t care about the world anymore. Change with VR can already be seen with the invention of the TV, the phone, the iPhone, and numerous other inventions, It’s already happening - the world is blowing up over Vive, Oculus, Hololens, and more, and VR is going to make things happen: such as solving problems. Is change happening? Are problems going to be solved? Yes, we can already see change.
Sullivan, an experienced editor for the NY Times used a trial version of Oculus’s final product to conduct a survey on how other journalists would feel about the new Rift by Oculus. Sullivan’s article was relatively colloquial as it uses many conversation pieces throughout the article. The data presented mixed to create a strong case of mixed reaction and an indefinite future for the company Oculus. The article is very well put together incorporating many viewpoints into the article, it also raises the thought that just maybe virtual reality could turn out to be too much for the general public to handle. The data is also very strong as it comes from personnel associated with the New York
fitted and be turned into a VR platform. The technology is controlled mainly by a pair of glass
This is not the first time that Rochester Optical has done a a similar service. The optical clinic has also customized glasses for Google Glass and Microsoft HoloLens. Stay tuned to GamenGuide for the latest news and update on Snapchat

Microsoft envisions the future with a Surface in every desktop, refrigerator, television and in the rooms of every organization. The Surface represents the next generation of computer software and hardware technology with a profitable business opportunity. The Surface will allow
I chose Microsoft Kinect as my technology topic because I wanted to analyze that how Kinect gave a competitive advantage to the Microsoft in the gaming industry. My analysis will focus on the technology Microsoft used in Kinect and the reasons of Kinect becoming the fastest selling tech-gadget, even though it was just launched in November 2010. I will also discuss the strategies Microsoft used while developing and launching the Kinect and the different factors that helped Microsoft to become leader by selling 10 million gadgets in a very short period of time, beating Apple 's iPad and iPhone previous record. Microsoft Kinect made into the Guinness book of records as the fastest selling electronics device. I myself also own Kinect and play it all the time with my friends.
Google Glass has been described as “a personal assistant whereby it allows users to direct connect to the Web via WiFi, or tethers to a 3G or 4G mobile devices via Bluetooth. Its weight is less than a pair of sunglasses ( approximately nine pounds ) and it basically operated by touch and voice.” (Tuffley,2013) Since Google Glass comes with the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, you could connect your Google Glass with your mobile devices such a smart phone, via Bluetooth. Google Glass also able to translate your speech to text, with it connected to your mobile devices, you can now chat instantly with your friends on Chat Room or Instant Messaging without looking down on your smart phones, instead, you just have to “talk” to them. Google Glass is said to be an almost “hands free device”, the propose of it is to create a more active lifestyle with our advanced technology, it is enough for us seeing people meeting up in a café, meanwhile all they do is just looking down on their smart phones instead of talking to each other, and they could call that a “gathering”, yet it is actually just a group of people sitting together looking at their smart phones separately. The Google Glass is currently still on it’s “Trial and Error” journey, where Google make the Google Glass available for developers, the price stated in the meantime was $1,500. A few lucky developers
We are living in an era characterized by 3D virtual systems created by computer graphics. In the concept called Virtual Reality (VR), the virtual reality engineer is combining computer, video, image-processing, and sensor technologies so that a human can enter into and react with spaces generated by computer graphics.
(376) Some people would argue that VR began in 1838 with the Stereoscope by Charles Wheatstone, this device was made by 'two images photographed representing the view seen by each eye '[ http://jaredjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Bendis-Stereoscopy.pdf] placed inside a 3D headset giving the viewer depth and immersion. The first mention of VR in science fiction was in a 1930s short story called Pygmalion 's Spectacles written by Stanley G. Weinbaum, he describes a goggle based system projecting a holographic image which activates certain senses such as sound and touch[ http://www.gutenberg.org/files/22893/22893-h/22893-h.htm]. In the 1950s with Morton Heilig created The Sensorama, a machine creating sound, smells, and even wind to accompany the visuals completely mechanically. VR became more popular in theatre such as Tron (1982) and The Lawnmower Man
4DX is the latest advancement of the movie theatre experience. 4DX technology delivers a cinematic experience that deeply involves all of the humans’ 5-senses and may create an altered mental state (changing the way one thinks about a movie). Cybernetic processes include the development of representations of reality. (Cox 1989:10) We has humans create a representation of reality through a connection in the mind. (Cox 1989:10). Inside the 4DX auditorium, when experiencing a movie motion chairs and environmental effects such as wind, fog, bubbles and scent work together in perfect synchronicity with the film shown on the screen. This interactive technology is putting the individual in a place away from direct experience of reality is seen to be helped by computer graphics and electronic image generation, resulting in a society of image simulation of the real world (Cox
