One Reason Why Apple's Developer Conference Is The Best

It's no secret that developer conferences are often very nerdy. After all, their whole purpose is to announce new softwares and coding capabilities which many people rely on for work.

Once a user puts the headset on, it spatially maps the world around them so they can look through HD lenses into an augmented reality world. In this digital world, they can play games (Minecraft was demonstrated in Microsoft’s announcement), make Skype calls, overlay designs on reality, and much more. All of these scenarios allow the user to move around and look at the holograms in 3D like they were really there. This is never-seen-before, exciting new technology isn’t something you would usually expect from Microsoft. Microsoft says that the HoloLens includes a high-end CPU but that they needed to invent a new processo...
