NEWS: Holograms for everyday use Welcome to augmented reality – the technology that enhances our view of the world by blending it with computer-generated images. The technology is different from virtual reality headsets. Virtual reality uses tiny computer screens placed close to your eyes to immerse you in a computer-generated world. With augmented reality, you still see the real world – but with some digital embellishments. Microsoft’s prototype augmented reality headset, the HoloLens, doesn’t even use a screen. The device adjusts the scene before you by projecting light directly on to your retina, conjuring virtual objects that Microsoft calls holograms.

“Like every major technological advancement in human society, AI offers both risks and rewards. One practical example is the economic effect of robotic automation.
