MOORESVILLE, N.C. ― Lowe’s is expanding its pilot of Microsoft’s HoloLens, an augmented reality system that allows customers to digitally vision their kitchen designs. The technology, currently available for use in Lowe’s stores in Seattle and in Raleigh, N.C., will be rolled out to three more yet undisclosed locations, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced this week at the software giant’s Ignite conference. “The idea of using small samples and swatches to try and imagine what a room looks like seems very antiquated now,” Kyle Nel, Executive Director of Lowe’s Innovation Lab, told USA Today. “What we’re ultimately aiming toward is having a couple be able to design their kitchen together in mixed reality from their own home.”
