Microsoft have the new Hololense technology, and they could be integrating this into their next line of consoles. If this is the case there will be a huge paradigm shift in gaming regarding virtually augmented environments, where objects could materialise around you from the game. This of course will shift the focus of gamers from Sony consoles to Microsoft type consoles, and rebalance the gaming console market. But in order to do this Microsoft have to get their first, and they have to lock the technology in for a few years to keep the tech exclusive to them and their brand. Most of all they have to really create something users want and make it sell!
The downside to this technology is that users will have to wear the Hololense glasses to play the games and to experience the virtually augmented environments.
So Microsoft went a step further with Illumiroom, and this does not involve wearing any special lenses. This is actually a hybrid to a projection system, only it’s immersive and extends the field of view outside the boundaries of the T.V screen, and the level of detail in the game becomes much clearer and with a realistic feel, such as when snow falls in a game and where it is projected in front of you around the area of the screen.
If you really want to see some totally awesome advancements in gaming regarding virtually augmented environments of have a game extended to the area around your screen, then it’s up to you guys and gals gamers out there to make this happen; when it comes several years or more from now make the change and embrace the future. Even if you’re a hardcore Sony fan; if they have not caught up don’t stay in the past, jump ahead!
