Today at IFA in Berlin, Germany Microsoft is announcing a new entry-level tier for mixed reality, as well as a blockbuster partnership with SteamVR. Additionally, Minecraft and soon Halo will be virtual too.
Microsoft's Mixed Reality initiative is in some ways an undefined area of computing that is slowly coming into focus. Microsoft today is making some big waves with the immersive Windows 10 experience coming this holiday season including revisions to hardware requirements and some huge partnerships that will drive the gaming aspect to potentially millions of new users.
It should not be shocking that Microsoft is leveraging 343 Studios – the group behind Halo – but it is now official (even if still early). Moreover, Steam VR will also be a part of Windows Mixed Reality and Minecraft as well.
