Microsoft's HoloLens Brings You Inside a Gigantic Jet Engine

That's exactly what Microsoft was pushing for at its Worldwide Partner Conference on Monday. Presenters at the Toronto event used Microsoft's heavily hyped HoloLens to bring a digital representation of a jet engine on stage to show how Japan Airlines intends to use the technology to train flight crews and mechanics.
"We can continue to learn in new ways, not possible in the real world," said Lorraine Bardeen, general manager of Windows and HoloLens experiences production and strategy for Microsoft.

It has eye tracking and gesture sensing; it also projects hologram-like images onto the visor. In short, you can wander around the real world, seeing holograms that range from toolboxes to chat windows to spaceships placed all around you, albeit through a small portal."
