Microsoft really threw us a curveball when they in veiled hololens goggles that combine a computer speakers and a 3d augmented reality display but as cool as the demo video was what are we actually going to use this for i'm donald bell and this top five i'm counting down the best uses from microsoft hololens so far as I can tell starting off at number five let's just get this out of the way holo porn I can't be the only one thinking this and if we're being honest I'm only putting this at number five to keep things relatively classy I mean really how long before you can conjure up a virtual companion in the privacy of your own home if human reproduction grinds to a halt over the next few years I'm blaming Microsoft at number four design the Microsoft demo video featured all manner of design professionals and engineers using hololens to create manipulate and visualize 3d renderings of objects and virtual vehicles this totally makes sense I mean what designer wouldn't love to see their 3d designs pop off the computer screen and into the real world you'll feel like a god coming in at number three instruction there's another theme here that kept popping up from Microsoft you could have the instructions for fixing or assembling something laid out right in front of you doctors could learn surgery on virtual bodies it could give you an edge in golf or chess poker or twister or thumb wrestling or beer pong ice curling knife throwing it can even help you through that awkward first encounter with your virtual partner at number two making your home smarter forget about Internet connected thermostats with one upgrade you can turn every surface in your home into a display and get your email on your refrigerator you can check the weather on your toaster eat cereal on a table made out of animated gifts it's like your own personalized acid trip and that brings us to my vote for the number one use for the microsoft hololens gaming after all this is from the same team that came up with the Microsoft Kinect also that moment in the demo video where the guys the living room is transformed into a Minecraft world how cool is that you and your virtual BFF could spend the exquisite moments of your afterglow mining your carpet for precious materials that build up your virtual fort the future is going to be pretty weird so there you go five of the best potential uses from microsoft's hololens augmented reality goggles but that's just my opinion if you have a better one you can let me know over on Twitter or you can visit top-five see Netcom for more top fives like this I'm Donnell Bell thanks for watching
