REDMOND, Wash. — Microsoft on Wednesday introduced a headset that will allow people to interact with holographic images, allowing them to play video games and build 3-D models.
The headset, Microsoft HoloLens, was the most eye-catching new product that the company revealed at an event showcasing Windows 10, a major new operating system from Microsoft. The company said the headset would be available around the same time that Windows 10 is released, which is expected to be this year.

“Windows 10 is so much more than the latest version of Windows,” said Terry Myerson, an executive vice president at Microsoft. “Windows 10 changes the rules of the game and redefines the relationship between us and our customers.”
Microsoft also said Windows 10 would include a version of Cortana, a Siri-like digital assistant that was previously available only for Windows Phone.
