Microsoft demos ‘Project XRay’ mixed reality game for HoloLens
One of Microsoft’s most exciting products to date is HoloLens, and today the company revealed a new mixed reality game for the headset called Project XRay. The title was developed internally, according to the Executive VP of the Windows Devices group, Terry Myerson. Similar to the Minecraft experience on HoloLens, Project XRay also looks incredible — particularly because you can turn most any room into your own gaming canvas. Here, though, you’re wearing a holographic weapon on your arm, which you’ll need to defend yourself from a robot attack. Once they start crawling out of the walls, you can shoot lasers at them — yes, lasers. “Holograms behave just like real objects; they can interact with environments and with each other,” said the Microsoft representative on stage about Project XRay.
In other news, Microsoft announced that HoloLens will reach developers in 2016 for $3,000. For now, we’re really hoping we’ll get to experience Project XRay ourselves once the event is over.
