Microsoft’s insane holographic vision of the future

In one scene, a woman wearing HoloLens needs help fixing her leaking sink. A man in another city sitting in front of a tablet sees what she is seeing, makes a mark around the correct pipe to turn, and the woman instantly sees a 3-D arrow showing her which pipe to fix.

Other scenes showed people being immersed in video games, performing software-guided surgeries and collaborating with team members on the design of a new motorcycle.

In a live demonstration of a new Microsoft app called HoloStudio, a Microsoft employee created a drone on stage, which she built and then controlled with her voice and her fingers. She then 3-D printed the drone with a virtual tap.
