Well Yesterday Microsoft unveiled this baby. They got the guys from oculus rift to work on this with them and created a holographic head set. Its not as immerse as oculus for gaming since it blends reality into cyberspace instead of dropping you into it like oculus. But pretty kick ass non the less since you can do soo much with it.

That battery looks like it weighs a ton.

 

Once again, fringe-tech coming from Google, but probably too early to tell if it's of any commercial value.

I doubt the actual product can do that resolution and low latency. It is probably more like augmented reality on Nintendo DS slapped onto an occulus rift.

Add a bit more power to that and some cameras

I got word about this from work.  This looks like a really challenging hurtle to jump over, in terms of user experience.  I'm curious to see how Minecraft plays with this device.

 

Something like this would also be sweet for when you leave work and then immediatly have to work again, until you black out.  Then you just wake up and start working, but I digress...

Now someone has to make a minecraft mod that replaces the sky texture with a camera view from that table. So you could look up in-game and see some dork looking down on you.

Thanks Ratty.

 

I can't wait to see what Worldedit, and Voxel will be capable of with this, It will make building large structures a lot faster and easier since we can just zoom out from it, instead of flying away from it, going back to it editing a block and repeat, or have 2 accounts looking at it one placing blocks the other looking. 

 

Not to mention the admin capability's of this since this is a 3D real time dynmap for us

 

 

*starts to make a skybox of Tsar holding both his arms up and laughing maniacally.  L&T Hololens edition. 

 

 

Also this better work with PC's and not just a xbox one thing to sell more consoles


Though for survival I hope the move ground up feature etc and be disabled via bungie or a setting in vanilla cause cheating. etc Or the 3d overview thing as a permission function.
