How is hololens different from google glass?

Can only user se holographic content ... Or is it projected so any1 can see like v saw on build... ???

Comparing Glass to Hololense is like comparing a flip phone to a smart phone (glass is the flip phone). They can both make phone calls, but the smart phone is so much more.

It's a personal device, like Google Glass, but I wouldn't be surprised if multiple users will be able to interact with each other and the 'holographic' world with certain programs.

It's still early days.

You missed the question....

It's same with the glass if you are asking about the viewpoint. The main difference is glass projects on the air I mean where you look hololens can detect the walls, ground and ceiling and use them to pin stuff or project on, so when you turn your back to a hologram it's still there but out of your sight you can still hear it and make it do some actions...

Ok..but what I wanna know... Only one who wears it can c holograms .. Or everyone... This could b selling point over google glass where only wearer can c it ...

A projection feature would b great! It can b killer feature out of all

again interactions can b another good thing... I.e anyone there can Interact...

This isn't Star Trek. Another person cannot see the hologram unless they too have glasses on. As I stated, it's a personal device but I expect there to be programs where others will be able to interact but will still need their own Hololens kit.

At this point in time what you're suggesting isn't possible.

As another poster pointed out, there is no comparison between Hololens and Google Glass. It's a completely different machine.

I think as they have shown in the build if two or more people have Hololense in a room they might be able to connect with each others Hololense and can at least see each other's holograms not sure if we can interact with each other's holograms.... But I think that is what they are planning as they have demonstrated in the build.

Great... If v need hololens to c ... Its still a deal breaker!! ND indeed different from google glass! Where glass is just a smartphone companion... Where hololens is computer on ur head.... Thanks all for your inputs!

Google glass really has very little relation to Hololens. Despite the advertisements, Glass doesn't have any holographic capabilities, it's just a little screen next to your eye. It's closest competitor is the smartwatch.

To put it simply, Google glass is a personal HUD, where Hololens is a holographic interactive headgear
