Microsoft hasannounced the availabilityof a preview for Power BI on Windows Mixed Reality. The app is based on the UWP Power BI program and comes with some cool capabilities that show off the power of both HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality.

With Power BI on Windows Mixed Reality, HoloLens users can interact with report pages and dashboard right on top of real-world environments. There are also two specific use modes where you can pin Power BI on top of a specific location in the real world, or have it follow you around as you look through different dashboard and reports. See it in action in the image below.

Other features include support for voice commands, meant to complement the gestures mentioned above. There’s also support for opening report pages by using QR codes. “This could be very useful to load and view the digital data relevant for a specific physical object or location in the working environment,” explained Microsoft.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
