 Hey guys, this is Tom with The Verge and this is Microsoft's HoloLens headset and this is inside the HoloLens. This is the developer edition, so it's not shipping out to consumers, it's literally to developers right now to create apps and games. But from the outside it looks very much the same as last year. But what's equally impressive is what's actually inside the headset and what powers all of those unique holograms. The first is the one that you see quite prominently at the front, it's obviously the visor. What sits behind that is to see through holographic lenses. There's obviously a unit that processes all that. Essentially what these do is they pass the holographic images through these lenses and then directly into your eyes. So that's how you're seeing all the holograms around you when you're looking at them in the environment. And then on top of the actual visor sits the sensor bar. So this includes basically a connect camera at the top here, it's a depth sensing camera that will sense exactly your environment around you. And then at the sides you've got the environment sensing cameras as well. And they all kind of combine together to really understand what room you're sitting in, how you're interacting with the holograms around you and really feeding that back to the processor. And then speaking of the processor, this is probably the most impressive part of the HoloLens for me. This is the motherboard, so this houses the processor, the GPU and the new Microsoft's own chip which is the holographic processing unit, the HPU. It's also got the RAM on here as well and a Bluetooth chip and a Wi-Fi chip. So all those chipsets, all the core processing power of the HoloLens is in this tiny little motherboard right here. The other really cool thing about the HoloLens is the spatial sound. So it's these tiny little speakers here that project sound into your ears at a certain angle. The HoloLens might use that as a way to sort of direct you to turn around just because you can hear an enemy behind you. It's kind of cool and these are the speakers that essentially drive that. We've obviously got some of the circuitry and then the three battery packs that sit either side of the device. Microsoft isn't saying exactly the capacity of these battery packs but these are powering the entire device. So this isn't getting plugged into a computer, isn't getting plugged into a mobile phone or anything like that and it's powering the camera, the processor, the GPU, every single component in this entire device. So that was a quick look at what's inside Microsoft's HoloLens headset. If you want to see more videos like this, go to youtube.com, Forge Status to the Verge and hit subscribe.
 Hey guys, this is Tom with The Verge and this is Microsoft's HoloLens headset and this
 is inside the HoloLens.
 This is the developer edition, so it's not shipping out to consumers, it's literally
 to developers right now to create apps and games.
 But from the outside it looks very much the same as last year.
 But what's equally impressive is what's actually inside the headset and what powers all of
 those unique holograms.
 The first is the one that you see quite prominently at the front, it's obviously the visor.
 What sits behind that is to see through holographic lenses.
 There's obviously a unit that processes all that.
 Essentially what these do is they pass the holographic images through these lenses and
 then directly into your eyes.
 So that's how you're seeing all the holograms around you when you're looking at them in
 the environment.
 And then on top of the actual visor sits the sensor bar.
 So this includes basically a connect camera at the top here, it's a depth sensing camera
 that will sense exactly your environment around you.
 And then at the sides you've got the environment sensing cameras as well.
 And they all kind of combine together to really understand what room you're sitting in, how
 you're interacting with the holograms around you and really feeding that back to the processor.
 And then speaking of the processor, this is probably the most impressive part of the HoloLens
 for me.
 This is the motherboard, so this houses the processor, the GPU and the new Microsoft's
 own chip which is the holographic processing unit, the HPU.
 It's also got the RAM on here as well and a Bluetooth chip and a Wi-Fi chip.
