San Francisco July 31 (IANS) Microsoft s HoloLens head-mounted display will be better at navigating reality by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) media reports said.
According to a report in Financial Tribune on Sunday the second version of HoloLens custom multiprocessor -- called a "holographic processing unit" or HPU -- will enable HoloLens to do the kind of deep learning processing that typically is done only in the cloud.
"The HPU allows the headset to negotiate reality without experience-killing latency and benefit from the addition of AI silicon " the report quoted Eric Abbruzzese a senior analyst with market intelligence company ABI Research as saying.
"Higher accuracy in head tracking and georegistering content -- locking digital content to the real world -- is the primary benefit with the side effect of a platform gradually growing in capability " he added.
According to Patrick Moorhead principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy the additional silicon could boost performance and user safety.
