Hololens cheaper and lighter and...

Go find any other instance of depth sensing within an image generation optical system.

MVIS's system is that.

I believe this is very powerful evidence MVIS is inside....

...and the evidence suggests that Hololens functionality will be included in everyone's Windows 10 installation in April or so.

As the patent explains: “The disclosed optical system thus eliminates the need for both a dedicated image-generation optical system and a dedicated terrain-mapping optical system within a device that requires these dual functionalities…the disclosed optical system represents a substantial advance toward producing compact and lightweight NED devices.”

Surface Phone & some Dots to connect...

So, remember the "Surface phone?" 

My best guess is that this is a very real upcoming device. The odds of Microvision inclusion in this product are very high

There has also been mention of Microsoft Continuum -- as a phone feature, that "turns your phone into a big screen projector." [ Continuum here ] I don't think their use of language is accidental.

What happens remains to be seen, but Microsoft has worked with Microvision in the past, and Microvision is working with Microsoft devices. Microsoft is talking about a technology that turns a phone into a "big screen projector." Microsoft is going to release a powerful phone that will be like their surface tablet.... 

... and trial production started last November.

The Microsoft Surface Phone is also perceived to be the miniature version of Surface tablets. If that's the case, experts consider the Surface Phone as the ultimate mobile device. It may even overtake Surface tablets for being able to make actual phone calls. It is a primarily a mobile device after all, but only on steroids.

As added by Trusted Reviews, the Microsoft Surface Phone may also run on Windows 10 since it is the last version of Windows according to Microsoft. This means Windows 10 Mobile will not be disappearing anytime soon. It is also reported that Continuum, the cross-platform productivity feature will play a bigger role on mobile.

Trial Production has begun

NexDock

These guys were on the radio a long time ago, back up there.

This does fit well with the long term vision for PicoP. 
NexDock at MSPowerUser

The NexDock is a device which transforms your Windows 10 Mobile device into a laptop through Continuum, and it was a major success on Indiegogo, receiving 121% of required funding.

The device has run into the usual issues, but unlike many crowd-funding projects is actually shipping now to some users.
