HoloLens 2 is more immersive and comfortable than the previous model, and is built to accelerate time-to-value.
The new visual display system still runs on low power while doubling the field of view; there is a more balanced centre of gravity, with light carbon-fibre material incorporated. A new dial-in fit system makes it comfortable to wear for hours, and those who wear glasses can keep them on because the HoloLens 2 will slide over them. Thermal management has also been improved.
Dynamics 365 Guides is a new mixed-reality app that empowers employees to learn by doing. Guides provides step-by-step instructions that direct employees to the tools and parts they need and how to use them in real work situations. A Guides PC app makes it easy to create interactive content, attach photos and videos, import 3D models and customise training.

The virtually limitless computing power and capability of the cloud combined with increasingly intelligent and perceptive edge devices embedded throughout the physical world create experiences we could only imagine a few short years ago," said Julia White, Corporate VP, Microsoft Azure in a blog post.
