Road to VR is on the ground at MWC to bring you the most important news from the show, but if you want to see Microsoft’s expected HoloLens 2 reveal, you can tune in right here at 9:00AM PT (your timezone here):

Microsoft hasn’t explicitly said that it will be showing HoloLens 2 at the event, but it has done some significant teasing that, combined with other evidence, has left little doubt that we’ll get our first glimpse of the next HoloLens at the event today.

Microsoft has managed to keep HoloLens 2 quite under wraps up to this point, though within the last 24 hours images of the headset have purportedly leaked and been claimed legitimate:

The images appear to show a slightly sleeker HoloLens which concentrates some of its bulk onto the rear of the headstrap. The images also appear to show larger waveguide optics which could signal a wider field of view.
