Yep, but I don't think the narrow FoV changes the technology. You still see the reality with added elements thanks to the glasses, like the Google Glass for example. This is the definition of Augmented Reality IMO. 

"Mixed reality" is just a marketing term used to look more innovative. In any case, nothing close to VR (VR doesn't involve the "real" reality ^^). 

if we are talking strictly inhouse made apps... MS does easily better than google and apple in almost any front they touche... Those are the fast food junk devs of the industry....

but if we are talking about VR kit google already has its own with google cardboard https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/

Just as long as nobody makes games with it. Other wise the big PS will strike the down with his almighty wrath.

I just recently tried some, I think Samsung VR, it was really neat. I also thought View Masters were cool as a kid.

The thing does get rather heavy after a bit, still it was really fun.

So how the hell are you going to control the game if you are holding a phone which is inside a cardboard box to your head?  Tilting would be about the only thing you can do.

Could be done through Bluetooth controllers or even smartglass from Xbone. Once Continuum is out, you will have plug and play features with PC components. Would be like a PC on your head.

How many hands do you have? Seems she ran out of them holding the cardboard box...

Yeah, she's a n00b. She should have duct taped it to her head. 😪
