 ## Discover mixed reality
 
 On HoloLens, holograms blend the digital world with your physical environment to look and sound like they're part of your world. Even when holograms are all around you, you can always see your surroundings, move freely, and interact with people and objects. We call this experience "mixed reality".
 
-The holographic frame positions your holograms where your eyes are most sensitive to detail and the see-through lenses leave your peripheral vision unobscured. With spatial sound, you can pinpoint a hologram even if it’s behind you using sound. And, because HoloLens understands your physical environment, you can place holograms on and around real objects like tables and walls.

 ### Follow me, stay there
 
-Generally, holograms and apps stay where you placed them.  That's not always convenient if you need to move around and want an application to stay visible.  Select "follow me" in the top right corner of applications (next to the close button) to ask apps to follow or unfollow.
