    Default Microsoft to bring Mixed Reality to XBOX ONE.

    At the Game Developer Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, Microsoft announced today that it will begin shipping mixed reality development kits this month. The announcement follows the one from October, where the company showed off a series of third-party virtual reality head-mounted displays (HMDs).
    The Mixed Reality Development Edition headset will be made by Acer, and will have the following specifications:
    Two high-resolution liquid crystal displays at 1440 x 1440
    Display refresh rate up to 90 Hz (native)
    Built-in audio out and microphone support through 3.5mm jack
    Single cable with HDMI 2.0 (display) and USB 3.0 (data) for connectivity
    But that wasn't the only announcement that the firm made today. It also confirmed that "the Xbox One


    family of devices, including Project Scorpio" will get mixed reality support beginning in 2018. To be clear, Microsoft has already said that Scorpio will launch by this holiday season, so it seems that the console won't have this ability at launch.
    Interestingly, the statement does seem to imply that mixed reality support will also be coming to other Xbox One


    devices, such as the One and the One S. We've reached out to Microsoft to confirm that both of the older consoles will receive the feature, and we'll keep you update when we hear something.
    As for the Acer-made HMD, Microsoft says that it will be a phased rollout to developers, and didn't go into any further detail to describe how it will decide which developers get to purchase one and when.

    has anyone else seen this? we are getting some bits together to build one at work

    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.
