Synopsis
With new modern technologies automating the 21st century world of work, the future of work is ever changing, and the landscape of learning must evolve to meet it. What skills must the future worker have to meet the demands of tomorrow's careers? Designed in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center, Duquesne University's Education|Uncontained, and made possible with a generous grant from the KnowledgeWorks Foundation and the Remake Learning Network, we explore the possibilities with Microsoft's HoloLens V1, a revolutionary state-of-the-art augmented reality headset device. |

Concept
We use the HoloLens V1 to augment our real-life environment with a virtual, reconfigurable workplace that can be carried and setup anywhere on the go:
We use the HoloLens V1 to augment our real-life environment with a virtual, reconfigurable workplace that can be carried and setup anywhere on the go:
We use the HoloLen's advanced simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms to map and render a wireframe of the surrounding room in real-time, 15fps.
|
HoloLen's augmented embedded holographic displays create a very convincing virtual desk that stays put even with while rapidly moving the headset around.
|
Multiple large interactive floating user interfaces seamlessly display vibrant, animated colors and graphics on top of one's real life view.
|
With the HoloLen's real-time position tracking, ghostly virtual objects are incredibly just as interactable as real life objects.

KnowledgeWorks
At KnowledgeWorks, we believe all children can learn and should be challenged as individuals. We need to ensure every student masters academic content, encourage them to take ownership of their learning and help them develop the social-emotional skills they’ll need for whatever is next for them. This belief is at the heart of our work to help school districts grow personalized, competency-based learning communities and realize their vision for every student’s success. Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center The ETC is the premiere professional graduate program for interactive entertainment as it’s applied across a variety of fields, exploring transformational games, innovation by design and interactive storytelling. The ETC excels at creating an educational environment in which interdisciplinary students acquire collaboration, creativity and communication expertise while applying their artistic and technical skills through design-based research projects. Remake Learning Network Our network, established in 2007, is an open group of interconnected, creative, and innovative people and organizations in the greater Pittsburgh region. Our purpose is to spark and share best practices and new ideas, make it easier for neighbors and colleagues to help each other, reduce duplicative efforts in the region, and leverage resources collectively for greater impact. Education Uncontained Education Uncontained is a school-based program that promotes youth-led teacher powered learning that highlights all areas of justice - from environment to community.
