I for one was not one of those kids who saw a power ranger commercial for a morphin whatever and believed that all this magic would happen when I put gloves on. At the end of the day, you had a piece of fabric and a speaker. Reality is constrained by our technology. Learn to underexpect, because that whole thing with like, the minecraft world on your livingroom space....it's not going to happen. At best, you will be able to play minecraft pc on a blank flat surface. People tend to take what they see and let their imagination run wild with it. Try not to be one of those kinds of people. You will be let down every time. (For instance. Just how do you imagine you interact with that living room in the picture? It's easy to look at the picture and say "wow that's so cool" but just sit and try to imagine how that is accomplished. |
You might have answered this already, but why don't you believe the Minecraft on your living room will happen?
Read the Wired article about HoloLens. The writer went to Redmond and experienced the device for herself, and three of the experiences, including the Minecraft one depicted in the video, were experiences she had using the device.
The other two were having someone help her with a home repair project. In her case, wiring an electical switch, and the other being the Mars landing site. They also weren't pre-canned. The person on the other end of the experience, showing her how to do things or engaging her in planetary exploration, was in the other room.
Microsoft has a similar technology at play in RoomAlive, Illumiroom (predicessor to RoomAlive) and Maneo-a-Maneo (possibly the technology behind HoloLens). The latter actually produces holographic images without any kind of head unit.
