==Introduction==
for folks older than 13retinal scan for authenticationnot positioned as consumer productThe Microsoft HoloLens 2 is a next-generation, though anyone can purchase oneaugmented reality headset built for employees using enterprise workers who use their hands at workand can't benefit from phones, tablets, not stuck at or computers/desks (in the same way that other industries can. Microsoft is targeting corporations like auto shops or factory floorsto re-imagine the work environment. The HoloLens 2 has both hand and eye tracking capabilities. Hand tracking includes simplified gestures compared to the original HoloLens thanks to 25 points of articulation on each hand. Eye tracking includes the ability to pinpoint something with your eyes and verablize commands for actions to take, fixing jet propulsion enginelike closing a browser. Eye tracking is new to the HoloLens line. With a camera, the device can also scan your retina to authenticate you into the platform. https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/24/18235460/microsoft-hololens-2-price-specs-mixed-reality-ar-vr-business-work-features-mwc-2019There are other noteable improvements to the HoloLens 2 compared to the HoloLens. Not only can can it map the space you are in (spatial mapping), but it can wear glasses understand the objects around you, like knowing that is a couch or a desk (semantic understanding of space). One reviewer noted it was more comfortable and easier to gesture, as well. The HoloLens 2 comes with thema larger field of vision, though it's still significantly limited.
more comfortable, large field of view, easier gestures, better detection of real-life objects, more accurate hand tracking

Azure Remote Rendering that lets the HoloLens offload some compute load to the cloud. It exists because the HoloLens 2 can only store and render a limited kind of detail for something like a 3D render of an engine locally. With Remote Rendering, some of the detail can come in real time from the cloud, so it displays potentially infinite levels of detail, allowing you to model and interact with the smallest parts of a holographic machine
 
Azure Spatial Anchors. It lets you pin holograms to real places in the world

Microsoft Mesh, a technology promising a way to beam people into the same shared virtual space, shows amazing promise.
