HoloLens, DirectX 12, and actual Microsoft Studios games on PC
Earlier today, Microsoft held a Windows 10 event. My stream kept dying, but I posted about theBattletoadsshirtworn by head of Xbox Phil Spencer during his segment about gaming.
Much of the event was uninteresting or irrelevant for this audience, with one huge exception: an augmented-reality headset calledProject HoloLensthat can display holograms all around you.
Outlets likeWired,The Verge, andGizmodowere able to try out the device and several demos, including a basic version ofMinecraftshown above. Take your pick. Then, jealousy.
It’s unlikely that the end consumer product will exactlymatch the ambitionof this concept video but, even if Microsoft gets partway there with HoloLens, we’re one step closer to The Future as envisioned by Hollywood. One step closer to becoming Tony Stark. What a time to be alive.
