How to Choose Programming Language for UAP?
This is a short post, because it is a simple question and there is a simple answer. The reason I want this post is: if you ask anyone, you will get a long answer, and that never answers your question.

Why HoloLens Is Not Kinect
g Since HoloLens was accounced back in Jan 21st, many articles on the Internet have referred Kinect while reporting on HoloLens in various ways.

Does HoloLens Have to Be Worn on the Head?
About 4 years ago, I wrote an article for Yahoo about Windows Phone, 3D display and Kinect. What would happen if the three things worked together?
