You might use Microsoft HoloLens in the future to buy Volvo cars

In the future you might not need to walk into physical showrooms to see Volvo cars. The Swedish car maker has partnered with Microsoft to use the tech giants HoloLens augmented reality headset to give you virtual showroom experience. It’ll give users the chance to examine the interior of a car or look at the drivetrain and transmission in action.

But this isn’t the only thing the two companies are working on. According to a report on GeekWire, the two companies are supposedly working on building autonomous vehicles as well to rival the likes of Google, Tesla, and even Apple. Microsoft is also working with other commercial partners, such as NASA JPL to make further use of HoloLens. If you’re company is interested in trying out HoloLens Development Edition, they are inviting applications for it. The US$3,000 kit will start shipping in the first quarter of next year.
