While it's not long until Microsoft's augmented reality headset HoloLens ships to developers, the company has kept surprisingly quiet about its various hardware and software specifications. However, in an evangelist presentation posted to YouTube (now removed), Microsoft's Bruce Harris revealed a few nuggets of info about the headset, including a modest battery life of roughly five hours.
That five hours of battery life only applies when working on Word documents or e-mail. "Intensive" use—which likely refers to the gaming and 3D applications Microsoft has been using to demo the device—results in a far shorter battery life of two and a half hours. Those hoping for extended HoloLens gaming sessions may be disappointed.
It's not yet clear whether the users will be able to charge the HoloLens while using it, but Harris did mention that it has "no option for a wired connection," which likely refers to data transfer. He also noted that any Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device can talk to HoloLens, and that it'll run any universal Windows 10 app. Multiple headsets can also be linked together locally or via the Internet for a shared experience.
