National Video Games Day Comes to Life with the HoloLens

National Video Games Day, on September 12th, is inspiring us to see how the HoloLens is transforming the video game world.

Students demonstrate their HoloLens apps after a quarter of VR and AR design
At the University of Washington, a computer science classroom is equipping their students with HoloLens headsets to let them develop their own apps.

Other apps include augmented reality cooking, a painting app, and more.
