Microsoft also announced Windows 10 will be free along with Cortana B) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-30924022
I’d love to see a Halo 5: ODST style game or a flight sim that uses this.
Now my couch IS the casting room couch.
The future of porn is awesome.
I posted this a few days ago in the lounge…looked amazing to me
Seems everybody has some sort of VR tech on the way. What worries me is that before Kinect came out, MS had a nice crazy video of all the shit Kinect was going to let you do, then it came out and all there was to do on it was dance games, and shitty sports sims.
edit: oooooo free upgrade to Windows 10?
This is true, but stuff like this ( http://www.nasa.gov/press/2015/january/nasa-microsoft-collaboration-will-allow-scientists-to-work-on-mars/#.VMBKbEfF-Ag ) gives me hope it won’t turn into another innovative idea with potential that noone is willing to really invest in.
what also worries me is that Sony, and Oculus Rift, are coming out (and undoubtedly others, too), and this could become another HD-DVD vs BluRay or VHS vs Beta battle, and I don’t wanna commit too early.
I’ve not seen Sony’s attempt. Oculus Rift might have been first but isn’t as sexy plus you can’t interact with the real world. I can see MS running away with this if it did become another ‘war’.
Edit: I forgot about Google Glass, that turned out to be a failure. I think I heard Google closed that up a couple of weeks too.
yeah, google glass got shut down, or merged with some future project.
Sony has the Morpheus coming out eventually (just go ahead and google that). I’ve used Oculus Rift, so I know it does what it’s supposed to, and worked well (and fit my glasses inside). This is a mere concept, as of now. Sure, they showed lots of interactions with the world.
Yet again, I point out the early tech demos for Kinect, showing you scanning real world objects to put in the game, or your face, then none of that ever saw the light of day, and I specifically recall buying Tiger Woods, and it telling me I needed ANOTHER fucking camera, in order to take pictures of my face to put in the game, as it didn’t recognize Kinect…IN A FUCKING KINECT GAME.
fool me once, shame on me…fool me twice…
big fucking edit:
There is also Magic Leap coming out sometime, although almost nothing is known about it, except it’s got like 1/2 a billion dollars in funding.
the hands on uses of the HoloLens have sounded pretty fucking good, though, and the work NASA has done with it as well fills me with hope. Guy who designed this is the guy who designed Kinect too, which kinda worries me actually lol.
I’ve seen some really old MS Research demo’s of people interacting with holograms, so I’m curious if this is tied in with it, and at least I realize this is something Microsoft has been actively working on for the better part of a decade:
Putting it out there
just in case.
Anybody have that gif of the SF2 match on the Star Wars Holodeck chess set?
Guile did a flash kick anti air, that earned him like a jump in fierce.
This will be the most faptastic tech on the market.
I hope they beef up the screen tho. Rage quitters ain’t gonna go easy on this thing.
