The next generation gaming console is on its way
While the new Xbox is slated to output 4K and is supposed to be the most powerful console ever built, reports confirm how Microsoft’s will not be demonstrating any mixed reality capabilities at E3. On the other hand, it seems that the company plans on focusing more on the Scorpio’s other features than its potential VR ones. Microsoft’s Alex Kipman stated to Polygon that the company’s main interest is to make mixed reality experiences amazing on PCs running Windows 10. For the moment, it looks like Windows may be the best platform for mixed reality because its open ecosystem offers the best opportunities and choice for both developers and consumers.
Microsoft’s current focus is on PC
Kipman says that Windows was the birthplace for lots of technologies and the company believes this will be the case for mixed reality. The company has made many efforts so that mixed reality reached Windows and it actually believes that console-based virtual reality should be wireless. In the end, Microsoft admitted that its current efforts are targeted at the development of the mixed reality experiences on PCs and not consoles. All this information leads us to believe that a mixed reality project is still on its way but will be a little late. We can’t help but assume that VR on a console may be revealed sometime next year. We will just have to settle for the other features that Project Scorpio has to offer for now. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
