I should be clear: I tried a version of the headset that\u2019s very similar to what will ultimately ship\u2014for $3000!\u2014but as always, no gadget is final until you\u2019re pulling it out of the box.<\/p>\n<p>First, a little bit about how it works. With the HoloLens, the \u201ccursor\u201d is your eyes. You look around a real room you\u2019re in and select holographic images that appear in your goggles by hovering the cursor in the middle of your field of vision over the object. To interact with the object, you \u201cair tap.\u201d In front of the goggles by pointing your index finger in the air and making a fast swipe down motion. Voice commands are also at your disposal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/microsoft-s-latest-hololens-is-here-and-it-s-amazing-1748158005\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the recent advances in computing and consumer technology, This is BY FAR the one I\u2019m most fascinated!
