What is Microsoft Hololens 2
Microsoft HoloLens 2 is Microsoft's mixed reality product that enables users to mix their environment with computer tools and products using a headset.
The tool is hands-free, using audio and visual sensory stimuli to create an immersive experience.
-
Overlayed holographic in your physical surrounding
HoloLens 2 uses a holographic canvas overlayed with your physical surroundings to create a mixed-reality experience. This can add an additional element to meetings when collaborating with colleagues.
Through HoloLens 2 headsets and its mixed reality, healthcare professionals are able to communicate remotely with experts in their fields or share patient data and go beyond X-rays and MRIs during diagnosis through 3D imaging.

Windows Mixed Reality
Mixed reality opens up new ways of learning and interacting with subjects. Imagine being able to demonstrate training on a large planet or a human body hologram.
It can contextualise learning or collaborating in a way that current resources cannot offer.
A recent report by Harvard Business Review and Microsoft found that most businesses already value the technology
-
More businesses are making an investment in Microsoft HoloLens, adding mixed reality or VR (virtual reality) to improve delivery and training or to add further services to customers.
Industries like healthcare, manufacturing, education and engineering/construction have been using mixed reality for some time but others are beginning to see its advantages.
Organisations such as Audi, L'Oreal, BHP, NHS, TetraPak and more are using Microsoft HoloLens 2 as part of their workflow but don't think it's just for large organisations. Smaller businesses, supported by the right partner can make use of this emerging technology. With the correct solution design, precise efficient hands-free technology can be revolutionary for all types of organisations.
Why use augmented reality for business?
-
62% of businesses said that MR will improve customer satisfaction and 55% believed it will enhance work processes.
Mixed reality is on the way to our workplaces
For example, suppose you’re a water company and your customer on the other side of the world has a problem.
In that case, you can connect an engineer on site to a water technician, showing them the environment and locating the problem, without needing to physically visit the site together. It really sets a new standard for customer service and will set you apart in your industry.
Without the use of technology, this would require days to fix. Instead, it can be completed in an hour, saving travel costs, and carbon emissions while maintaining social distancing which was needed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Using HoloLens with Microsoft Teams
Using Microsoft HoloLens 2 on teams through Dynamics 365 remote assist can add greater features and interactive elements to make communicating easier.
There is a wealth of Windows or partner apps and products that interact seamlessly with Microsoft Teams and HoloLens 2 in the Microsoft store.
Benefits of HoloLens 2 device and Microsoft Teams
If discussing power reporting, it can be useful for the group to be able to interact with the report together.
Similarly, when training colleagues, holograms can be used to display examples and interact life-like, creating more memorable learning.
How can my business benefit from Microsoft Hololens 2?
Imagine offering enhanced support in the engineering or manufacturing industries. Maximise the efficiency of your technical team by limiting travel or being able to book in back-to-back slots.
This may result in better work-life balance for your people by reducing how often they need to be away for work/on-site at clients' offices.
The benefits of adopting mixed reality in healthcare are powerful. According to the trusted Total Economic Impact of Mixed Reality Using Microsoft HoloLens 2 (“HoloLens 2 TEI study”),
Within the study, the following benefits were found:
Improved efficiency to complete ward rounds by 30% at an average savings of $41 per hour.
Reduced training time by 30%, at an average savings of $63 per labour hour.
Reduced average annual PPE costs by 75%, saving $954 per employee.
Forrester also estimates an ROI of 177% and a net present value of $7.6 million over three years with a payback of 13 months with HoloLens 2 and mixed reality.
When considering adding innovation and new technologies, have you looked at the company's return on investment alongside the overall cost?
To estimate your company's return, look at which departments can utilise mixed reality, the impact on customers or your people as part of your continuous improvement and estimated years until it will need re-investment.
