Microsoft’s Hololens will take a bit of time more before it becomes commercially viable for consumer use, meanwhile users can still experience a virtual reality world with Windows Holographic experience.

Intel and Microsoft are collaborating on a specification for mixed reality ready PCs and head mounted displays. Version one of the specification is set to be unveiled in Shenzen this December at the Windows Hardware Engineering Community conference. A new update released next year to Windows 10 will enable mainstream PCs to run the Windows Holographic shell and associated mixed reality and universal Windows applications.

The Windows Holographic shell enables a new experience as show on the video mainly for multi-tasking blending 2D and 3D apps at the same time, and supporting a broad range of 6 degrees of freedom devices. The system running the application shown on the video is Intel’s inexpensive tiny NUC at 90 frames per second.
