After the invention of the VR motion controllers Microsoft goes for its next leap in Augmented reality by the newly invented Augmented-reality wand; as of much heard about that Microsoft is being working long for a year on the Windows Mixed Reality headsets but the ideas of the Hololens were yet unrevealed. So now it’s the company’s call for the new invention of the wand-like controller for the augmented reality and Hololens togetherly in a same platform at the same instance.

VR motion controller 

This was the first invention of Microsoft for the controller designs we’ve seen that’s based on inside-out tracking. It’s part of Microsoft’s plan for virtual and augmented reality systems that can be set up anywhere, without the need for dedicated “VR rooms.”it got its patent filed earlier this year but has the unique features as that of the Augmented reality wand.

Hololens clicker 

HoloLens is fully untethered and self-contained, which means that one does not need a PC or phone to use it. Microsoft has built an entire Windows 10 device into a headset, using a custom-built Microsoft Holographic Processing Unit (HPU) and an Intel 32 bit processor.
Microsoft has also a variety of sensors inside the HoloLens, including an inertial measurement unit, an ambient light sensor, and four environment understanding cameras. These combine with a depth sensing camera to allow HoloLens to map spaces. Microsoft also has a 2-megapixel HD camera to capture videos and photos. Four microphones inside the headset are used to pick up voice commands from users. HoloLens hardware specifications include 2GB of RAM, 64GB of flash storage, and Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The headsets will be priced below existing VR devices, with Acer’s unit starting at $299.
Microsoft is focusing on six degrees of freedom tracking without the need for traditional external sensors placed throughout a room. The minimum specs for Microsoft’s Mixed Reality platform also indicate most PCs will be capable of running the most basic apps and games for their users needs.
