Microsoft started shipping its HoloLens headsets to developers a year ago today, and the company is celebrating its first milestone. While HoloLens is technically available to anyone with $3,000, Microsoft isn’t aiming this first iteration at consumers. Still, software developers have managed to create 150 apps for the headset over the past year.
Some unique apps include HoloHear, an app designed to provide real-time speech-to-sign-language for the deaf, and a piano teaching app (Teomirn) that overlays holograms on top of the keys of a real piano to help you learn. To mark a year of HoloLens, Microsoft is also gearing up for what’s next.
