Microsoft confirms teasers of a HoloLens sequel appearing at MWC 2019 with the presentation of the, well, HoloLens 2-- an updated on the "mixed reality" headset aimed primarily for use on the job, not the home.
As an upgrade on the first Microsoft headset, the HoloLens 2 offers double the field of view even as it maintains the same 47 pixels per degree of sight. The company does not give exact numbers on the matter, instead saying it is the equivalent of moving from a 720p TV to a 2K set for each eye. The headset tracks the retinas to work out what the user is looking at, and uses a new "time-of-flight" depth sensor to track the hands without need for a controller.
microSD Express retains the legacy microSD interface, allowing for backwards compatibility. As defined in the SD 7.1 specification, microSD Express cards will be available in a range of capacities, including microSDHC Express, microSDXC Express and microSDUC Express, all delivering the speeds necessary to transfer the large amounts of data generated by data-intense communications, speed hungry applications, multi-channel IoT devices, autonomous use, higher resolution mobile video and VR.
Revealed at MWC 2019, the second screen is designed to look like a cover case. It offers a 6.2-inch OLED panel for "double the viewing, gaming and multitasking experience," as well as hinge able to rotate a full 360-degrees. Connectivity takes place via proprietary wifi chipset allowing very short-range and high-bandwidth communication between the display and the phone, while Pogo pins hook the Dual Screen in place and provide power from the phone battery.
Aimed for both work and play, the Yoga headphones use hybrid active and electronic noise-canceling microphones to block background audio, and offer onboard controls for access to voice control and volume adjustments. A Smart Voice Pickup feature promises better audio for conference calls or Skype chat, while Dolby-tuned drivers allow for "high-fidelity sound."
Technically a more compact version of the previous CMT510 ATX mid-tower, the CMT340 promises improvements through a black-coated SPCC steel frame and support for radiators up to 360mm in size for liquid cooling, as well as air cooling fans. The included RGB fants are fully addressable, and compatible with Asus Aura Sync and MSI Mystic Light Sync.
