In a report consisting of a total of just 39 words, Reuters reported late Wednesday evening that Microsoft will release its new HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset sometime in September. Why mention that the report only contains 39 words? Well, apart from the fact that it’s quite strange, it also happens to be something of a terrific metaphor for Microsoft’s HoloLens products. When the first-generation version of the company’s augmented reality glasses debuted, the tech community was abuzz as everyone dreamed of all the possibilities. Then, the buzz quickly faded as the HoloLens mixed reality headset ran into the same problem every augmented reality product runs into: It’s very cool in theory, but not terribly useful right now in practice.
That won’t stop Microsoft from updating its efforts with the new HoloLens 2 headset, and now we know when it’ll finally be available.
