Microsoft is bringing
Halo to its Windows Mixed Reality headsets later this month.
Halo Recruit will be available as a free download on October 17th, and it’s designed to be a VR environment of characters in the popular game. 343 industries has created the experience, and it looks like it will be similar to the
lightsaber VR experience available on the HTC Vive last year. It’s not a full game of
Halo, nor will you be running around as Master Chief, but it’s a first attempt at how
Halo could look in virtual reality.
Gaming is a big part of virtual reality, and Microsoft previously announced its plans to
support SteamVR titles on its Windows Mixed Reality headsets. Developers are now getting access to that support today, allowing them to test their games with Microsoft’s range of headsets. Consumers will be able to access a preview of SteamVR support later this year.
Zum Thema VR: Das wäre genial, wenn Microsoft auch in die Branche einsteigt. Je mehr mitmischen, desto schneller schreitet die Technik voran, wird massentauglicher. Ich sehe in VR die Zukunft, immerhin gab es ja auch schon auf einer Sportmesse ein Trainingsgerät (Flugsimulator) mit VR - Brille, bei welches man den ganzen Körper und jeden Muskel trainieren kann. Für 2k war das, glaube ich.
Das Update ist bei mir über 1.3Gb groß.
