Ms will definitly put that in mind while developing the theirs.MS R&D definitly knows immersion should always come first with a gadget like this. but for now nobody knows exactly what they have planned so lets wait for an announcement or something before anything else cos for all we know they could be developing something entirely different.

Could be an AR VR hybrid. Who knows? They have been working on this for a very long time now.

"Could be an AR VR hybrid. Who knows? They have been working on this for a very long time now."

I'm not sure how seriously they've been working on it though. Surely if they had put serious R&D cash into the project, they wouldn't have had to buy out that tech company. That smacks a bit of playing a quick 'catch up' to me.

That's the way MS does it... they rarely do much hardware research on their own, they just license or buy tech from other companies and then expand upon it on the software side, which is where their strengths lie. They did the same with Kinect.

Myopia is common in the United States, with research suggesting this condition has increased dramatically in recent decades. In 1971–1972, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided the earliest nationally representative estimates for myopia prevalence in the U.S., and found the prevalence in persons aged 12–54 was 25.0%. Using the same method, in 1999–2004, myopia prevalence was estimated to have climbed to 41.6%.

I shouldn't have to provide common knowledge.

sYRes what you copied and pasted there has nothing to do with AR or VR. Myopia is caused by genetic and environmental factors of which AR/VR would not be cause.

There is no point for me to write a long reply but I would suggest actually looking into how augmented and virtual reality work.
Read up on Parallax, Parallel and Converged focus and correspondence stereo matching.

I think he's using the irrefutable scientific proof that his mom told him that sitting too close to the TV will ruin your eyes.

Something that is completely untrue.

One of many articles that say pretty much the same thing.

Prevelent quote

"At worst, sitting excessively close to the television these days will give you a headache and possible eyestrain. This can sometimes be a problem for kids, who often watch TV while lying on the floor; looking up at the television this way causes more eyestrain than looking straight at the TV or down at it. (The same applies for computer monitors.) Eyestrain can also occur when watching TV or looking at a computer screen where the light level of the screen is very different than the light level of the surrounding environment. Thankfully, eyestrain isn't permanently damaging, and is very easy to fix—just take a break from watching TV."

He doesn't, just a fan boy
