The new version of hololens will have a chip for artificial intelligence
Table of contents:
Many of you may already know that Microsoft has been developing the second version of HoloLens for a while. This is the second version of the HPU (Holographic Processing Unit). Taking advantage of the CVPR2017 event, we have been able to learn more about it.
The new version of HoloLens will have a chip for artificial intelligence
What is probably the most important news about it has been revealed. They have already confirmed that HoloLens will include a coprocessor for artificial intelligence. This will allow the implementation of deep learning neural networks (DNNs). And in addition, it has been stated that the chip will support different types of layers.
HoloLens with AI
They also wanted to show the first prototype of this new version of the HPU during the event. So we can already have an idea about it. It is a project of enormous importance to Microsoft. Without a doubt, it represents a notable advance in the features that are currently being developed for HoloLens. It is also an advance for artificial intelligence.

New tasks, such as hand tracking seen in the video, require a lot of data and adapted architectures. For this reason, this integrated co-processor is created. Which is also low consumption. And it will be responsible for channeling the information it receives from all sensors such as infrared cameras.
At the moment we will have to wait until 2019 for the arrival of HoloLens. At least that's what was discussed in February. Although it always depends on how advanced the project is in order to know more for sure. Although it is also commented that it is a strategic date, since this ensures the absence of competitors. We will see what will be revealed in the coming months in this regard.
