Microsoft introduced Windows Holographic, a technology that gives us a "world with holograms," during its Windows 10 event on Wednesday. It would let a user transform one's living room into a "surreal gaming environment," according to the company.

There are no wires. No external cameras.

It works with Microsoft's HoloLens headset, which allows users to wirelessly view holograms. Both the HoloLens and Windows 10 are slated to be available this fall.

"In software, nothing is impossible," Alex Kipman, one of Microsoft's developers who helped develop the Kinect, said. "At best, things are improbable. And with a little bit of luck and a lot of pixie dust, the improbable becomes possible."

Holographic capabilities are enabled inside every Windows 10 build, according to Kipman, "from the little screens to the big screens to no screens at all." Kipman specifically called out holographic developers: with Windows 10, it's possible.

That can mean playing video games like Minecraft or tasks like three-dimensional virtual teaching. The demonstration video also showed someone examining a Mars-like landscape and playing 3D shape games while wearing a headset.

It works using "advanced sensors" that create a space beyond virtual reality, Microsoft said. Holograms appearing before you is a new ball game. HoloLens has a built-in CPU and GPU and comes with a third processor, aptly called the "holographic processing unit"; it understands where you're looking, your voice and your gestures, and is able to "spatially map the world around us," according to Kipman.
