Wizard duelling title inVokeR is now available on Windows Mixed Reality devices.
The Verge writes: "Windows Mixed Reality served as a portal to games, apps, and other experiences within the VR space. In addition to the Microsoft HoloLens, other companies, including Acer, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Samsung, made mixed reality headsets compatible with Microsoft’s platform."
Imagine that.
“Microsoft has been gradually downsizing its VR division. HoloLens boss Alex Kipman left last year over allegations of sexual misconduct, and the company later cut 10,000 jobs, many of which affected the workers behind Microsoft’s mixed reality projects, including the now-discontinued AltspaceVR app.”
The dell mixed reality was my first pc vr headset and it was brilliant. So good meta, Sony and valve all followed with inside tracking for the controllers.
i didnt even know they had this to be fair.
according to the Googles, it was released 2017.
never heard of it.
Microsoft is looking for Windows Mixed Reality owners first.
TechRaptor writes, "Microsoft’s Windows Mixed Reality lineup in 2019 featured the $599 Reverb VR headset, promoted for its high resolution and inside-out tracking. Earlier today, HP announced they are collaborating their efforts with Valve and Microsoft to produce the next-generation of virtual reality headsets."
Hopefully this is a sign Microsoft will bring VR to the Xbox Series X. There is huge potential with VR on the next Xbox and it would be a shame if Xbox Series X doesn't support it.
As long as it doesn't pull from any of their first parties, I don't see many worrying too much about it.
It's a flying shame to see xbox gamers hope MS brings a gaming device they are working on to their gaming console....interesting times we live in.
They need to start building teams for this since next-gen is where VR's gonna really start to flourish.
@kingthrash360 - PC is a huge VR market, so while many hope for console VR, MS thinks about the other half of the userbase they service.
I'm pretty sure flight simulator supports VR , hopefully they can bring that to the sx as well.
in his defense, in this particular case he isn't being hypocritical. he's defended experimenting with VR for the windows platform, and that's what this headset is for as far as we know. and markets can change so strategies can too over time. i don't think xsx is getting VR anytime soon anyway, so no point in getting hopes up
Please be specific on how he is a "hypocrete", and make sure you differentiate from his words and the author's assumptions.
Apart from correcting your spelling, who says this has anything to do with xbox and Phil Spencer?
MS are a huge company, with fingers in many pies. This is nothing to do with xbox.
Wind your neck in
They weren't. But there's a whole wide world outside Xbox over at MS, and this collaboration is for PC, where MS is trying to make inroads into the VR market with their DirectX API.
Phil never hand a plan to begin with, has no idea how to do anything revolutionary for the industry and for the most part his statement contradict each other all the time, he speaks like an over glorified clown for the most part.
This dude "scofios" is sending me weird personal messages.
Wow...
I don't know whether having a stalker is a compliment or not?
It's just another mixed reality headset. Like Microsoft have been doing with other partners like samsung and hp and dell ect for a few years now.
The smartest thing MS could do is partner up with Valve or Oculus or some other VR company and just bring over the games from their platform. It would create another VR market and MS wouldn't really have to invest a ton into it. Doubt it'll happen, but it could be smart for MS to do so. Not much for them to lose really
I mean does it have potential. Other than resident evil and recently released half life I see no reason to buy it. It still isn’t ready Most games feel like demos and the graphics look weak.
I hope not. I'd rather them not waste their time on a immature product and take away resources from more important gaming aspects
I still think VR will always be a novelty item. Like the track pad of old.
I do enjoy it though
That would be awesome! Glad to see so many people interested in VR. This gen really paved the way for it.
It's not that we don't like VR, and speaking for myself only, I just don't want to see MS split off any of their first party teams to make VR games. Maybe they could work with a bunch of 3rd party studios, but MS needs to focus on their 1st party exclusives and not get distracted.
Judging by sales, neither do Sony or PC fans either.
It's still a niche market and a developing tech, and it will be for at least a few more years. Microsoft wasn't interested in jumping in right away. Sony wanted to get on board and they're one of the leaders in the market. Both positions are respectable.
Not true. We haven't seen any metabreaking VR game until now.
All the VR games I have played haven't been particularly interesting long enough to keep me playing.
Just wait when GTA VI gets a exclusive VR camera mode for the PS5 then all the Xbox fans are missing out.
Most gamers I know don't as there isn't many games on VR to be interested about until now with Half Life, I can see that coming to next gen systems VR.
Its alright guys, even if Xbox doesn't invest in VR (MS has to at this point), you can always get it on Ps5.
@343 - is a "metabreaking" VR game like when you're playing VR, and it's so good the meta breaks and the VR becomes reality? You're right then - we haven't had one of those yet. fingers crossed though
Let's hope people buy it, VR is amazing but still needs more consumer support. I wonder how many people who shit canned VR will jump on board next gen?
PSVR will be supported by PS5 - so the investment was worth it for those who jumped in early.
VR still has a ways to go. I am hopeful they will address the singular experience that it is still somewhat limited to. As it is, its only fun for the person wearing the hmd while others just get to watch from a second screen and dont experience it for themselves (unless they take turns). VR can support multiple hmd but there has to be someone who can make that happen on a single system instead of chaining multiple systems together. If anyone could do that, it could be Sony. Their 3d tv (the ps one) offered two independent 3d experiences on a single set and was a look into the future of local multiplayer in a 3d tv setting. Who is to say they wont be able to offer a similar setup with PSVR2? Being able to have two users in the VR space it would be like lawnmower man.
Nintendoland-like asymmetrical multiplayer. Would be amazing. I may pick one up eventually but right now I'm really just interested for sim-usage and the tech isn't where I want it yet.
As soon as xbox gets a headset, VR will no longer be a “gimmick”. The go to phrase “VR has a long way to go” is a disguised attempt to imply that VR just isnt good enough, in order to buy time for MS to get its act together and offer a headset for xbox. Not that VR wont improve, but so does everything else. Im just excited for PSVR2 and yes, even VR by MS. I just wish MS would just make a headset and invest fully in VR instead of waiting and watching others pave the way before they jump in by splashing cash.
Man the stuff people are smoking these days must be strong. VR does have a way to go especially considering how much flak MS has received for other peripherals. They are much better off waiting for the market to mature and get the rest of the business in line before jumping in. Get your base console ready first, THEN work on extras.
If MS released it now, yes it would be. If in 25 years, this is the standard then it would no longer be considered a gimmick.
MS already has invested in VR/MR. Just not in the console space. So I dont think them taking their time in deciding when it's right to do so is a bad thing. XB gamers are wanting games first before devices. One has to set the precedent before the other.
VR are is bittersweet to me. Awesome tech but it makes me feel nauseated after more than an hour. I still have Farpoint and RE7 left finished. Astrobot and the one with the mouse were easier on the stomach.
