Hi !
The official launch of the Hololens 2 was a couple of days ago during MWC 2019. Even if I miss my days supporting Avanade booth in the MWC, we are incredibly connected today, so I feel like I was there during the launch. So I may recap some resources to be used in the near future in an amazing surprise.
Main Microsoft Resources
Of course, let’s start with the official tweet announcement
