Microsoft launches HoloLens computer in Singapore

It uses mixed reality technology to operate.

Microsoft launched Microsoft HoloLens, its fully self-contained holographic computer running Windows 10, in Singapore starting 12 April 2018. According to an announcement, Singapore is the 41st country to have the computer.

Microsoft launched HoloLens in two configurations for developer and commercial use. Features include a Kiosk Mode, which limits which apps to run to enable demo or showcase experiences, and a Mobile Device Management (MDM).

The computer also has a directory integration and "next generation" credentials with PIN unlock and a controlled operating system updates to devices. It also features data encryption, a virtual private network, and a Windows store.

Microsoft first announced HoloLens in January 2015 and shipped to developers and commercial partners in the United States and Canada in 2016.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
