Microsoft will gradually ship a free Windows 11 upgrade to the HoloLens 2 mixed reality headset.
The update will ensure continued platform support, monthly security service updates, and optimized performance.
Among the new features are developer tools like Microsoft Edge WebView2, available in preview for HoloLens 2, which gives developers the ability to embed HTML, CSS, and JavaScript into native apps on the viewer.
Another key addition is 3D annotations, which give users the ability to annotate anything around them, on a surface or object, or just anywhere in the frame.
Microsoft is also adding a Restricted Mode to HoloLens 2 to allow businesses to control what content can be viewed on mixed reality headsets.
Microsoft says users are free to stay on Windows 10, but that if they want to upgrade to the latest operating system they just need to go to the Check for updates section in Update & Security.
