Here is how HoloLens can keep your real world garden looking good
Microsoft's HoloLens is now in the hands of a small group of developers and Microsoft partners. New apps are being created and tested, and novel ideas are being tried out in the real world for the day where HoloLens is available to everyone.
Perhaps one of the most ingenious uses we have seen yet comes from Javier Davalos on YouTube, who used it for gardening. You read that right, and we are not talking about a virtual one, but the real garden in his front yard.
Davalos demonstrates in the video how mixed reality can let him superimpose a holographic sphere over one of the bushes in his yard. He can then use clippers to trim the plant into a perfect (or near perfect) rounded shrub.
Needless to say, that is one creative use of the powerful Windows Holographic computer!
