Especially after Metaverse, investments in AR and VR technologies started to gain momentum. So much so that among these companies, Apple managed to make a sound with the recently introduced Vision Pro. However, Apple is not the only player in this market. Microsoft has been producing virtual and augmented reality glasses under the name HoloLens for a long time. Today, important details about the design of HoloLens 3 have come to light.Microsoft HoloLens 3 design revealed
If we remember, many reports were shared that HoloLens 3 was canceled before. But last year Microsoft was told that HoloLens was great and there were no issues with the program at all. A new application filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office confirms this and contains clues as to what the HoloLens 3 will look like.
According to the patent documents, HoloLens 3 will have a modular design that combines AR and VR. Thus, users will be able to purchase various add-ons according to their needs. This development could potentially make mixed reality technology more tailored, adaptable and affordable.
The description included in the patent files reads as follows: “The modular sensor and display module may include a standard interface for connection to various docking systems, including, for example, headband, VR headset, temples, helmet, and the like. In some embodiments, for the modular sensor and imaging module Another module may be provided, such as a backend module that can provide auxiliary computing, storage, and power supplies.”It’s worth noting that the patent doesn’t guarantee that a modular HoloLens 3 is on the way. However, as we mentioned at the beginning of our article, AR / VR technology is getting a little more popular every day. Therefore, there is a good chance that the company will implement its plans in order not to lose the market to Apple’s dominance.
