全息處理器

全息處理器（Holographic Processing Unit, HPU）是可以與CPU與GPU共同運作的一塊協處理器晶片，由微軟在2015年1月21日公佈。它集成於微軟HoloLens之中，使得HoloLens能夠在現實中疊加顯示虛擬的全息物品（增強現實）。^[1]^[2]^[3]該處理器提供給諸如HoloLens一類的設備來確定當前用戶的視覺範圍，繪製周圍環境以及處理身體姿勢和語音命令。^[4]

用途

HPU是為微軟HoloLens開發的，也是首次用於HoloLens這一需要為之開發新型協處理器晶片的增強現實的設備。目前還有待觀察HPU在其他設備上的成功實現。不過，根據微軟的Alex Kipman稱，HPU能夠「將能夠處理實時其所有傳感器產生的TB級數據。」^[5]
