Microsoft is going to bring its Windows Mixed Reality technology to the Xbox next year. The company announced at the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco Thursday that it will launch mixed reality content on the Xbox One, and the next version of the Xbox, code-named “Project Scorpio,” in 2018.
Microsoft didn’t go into details about its plans for the game console; the company has said in the past that it wants “Project Scorpio” to be VR-capable.
However, the new announcement adds a new twist to this: Windows Mixed Reality is the technology that powers Microsoft’s Hololens augmented reality headset, as well as headsets from other manufacturers that combine augmented and virtual reality experiences.
