We will look out the upcoming features announced in the event here. The biggest and important feature is Windows Holographic using the MicroSoft HoloLens itself. Using a HoloLens which may have little resemblance of Google glass, it is used to project the holograms to the eyes of wearer in a real background. Microsoft demoed this feature that it can be useful in 3D modeling, Science explorations like Mars Rover exploration and even to the normal Skype calls that will come along with you. Also, this feature allows you to play games with the background of your living room.

Microsoft HoloLens uses a Holographic processing unit HPU along with the normal CPU and GPU. HPU combines all the inputs of sensors to a real plane for computing. It can also work without any other devices like mobile, tablet and PC.

Other upcoming features of Windows 10 are,

Windows 10 provides more social and interactive gaming with DirectX 12 which takes half the power consumption and gives more graphics power in same hardware compared to DirectX 11. Also, Windows 10 supports streaming of Xbox Apps to Windows 10 devices and the user can continue playing with it from the last point.

Microsoft also has unveiled the new Surface Hub for designers with 84 inch display for business houses to conduct one touch meetings using Skype for Business. It will be useful for brainstorming sessions that the content can be incorporated into the shared workplace very easily.
