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.
