While on the surface Sony might appear to have had the more compelling show, the technology that Microsoft is showing off might actually be the better indicator of these company's future fortunes. The HoloLens incorporates image recognition technology that's not unlike what Google is using for its self-driving cars. In a separate demonstration earlier this year, MS showed how the technology can be used to help machines in the real world recognize and interact with their surroundings. This is game changing, and it suggests that the world may be changing very significantly in the next couple of decades. Microsoft is one of a few companies that's at the forefront of advancements in machine learning, and this technology applies to an endless number of fields, including gaming. The rules might be changing in the near future, and I think Microsoft, with its long history of investment in these technologies, is in a good position.
