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

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
