Microsoft unveils holographic lens at Windows 10 briefing

Microsoft Corp , the US-based tech major, on Wednesday unveiled a holographic lens device that allows users to see three-dimensional renderings of computer-generated images.

The device, called Microsoft HoloLens, has no wires and looks like a visor. It ups the stakes in the emerging market for virtual reality, being targeted by Facebook's Oculus.

The device will be available around the same time as Windows 10 in the autumn of 2015, a Microsoft executive said at a presentation at Microsoft's headquarters near Seattle.
