HoloLens 2 at MWC
At Mobile World Congress, Microsoft launched HoloLens 2, an update to its mixed reality headset. HoloLens 2 lets you interact with digital objects using natural hand gestures, openning new doors for developers working on AR-VR-driven training programs.
At the same event, IoT company PTC discussed how its customer Howden deploys digital twins using augmented reality (AR).
Microsoft has announced pricing options, both for the device itself and for a combo package that includes a communication app.
