Microsoft just gave me a little glimpse into the future thanks to a special visor and some fancy holograms. I'm not sure if it was the future of gaming, but it was definitely the future of ... something.
LOS ANGELES — Microsoft is about to turn your world into a virtual toy.
Minecraft is coming to the Windows HoloLens augmented reality device (and competing take to the Oculus Rift, Sony’s Project Morpheus, and Valve’s virtual reality headsets), which is launching later this year.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has also appointed Kudo Tsunoda, who led the development of the Kinect vision camera, as the person in charge of Microsoft Studios.
Jules Urbach likes pretty pictures. The chief executive of cloud graphics startup Otoy likes them so much that he has dedicated his career to getting better and better 3D animated images in front of consumers. And right now, that means better virtual reality imagery.
