Microsoft will prevent hololens from ending up as kinect

If we all agree on something, it is that Kinect has been a failure on Microsoft consoles, Xbox 360 and One. Now this company is working on its new accessory to expand the gameplay of the XboxOne, the virtual reality glasses Hololens.

Microsoft is extending the development times of the HoloLens to ensure that the final product is really useful and thus avoid the same situation that the Kinect is currently in. That, by the way, if you do not remember how they ended up, they had to sell it as a mandatory complement because nobody wanted it.

HoloLens creator Alex Kipman demonstrates at each conference what the device is capable of. From digitizing scenarios such as a forest or the Moon, to playing Minecraf with the device.

He claims that the early launch of the Kinect at the time, failed to adapt it to the market despite the 10 million units they sold. So you want the HoloLens to take its quiet development time and ensure a good feedback for users.

If the user were to buy it now, they would think they have a $ 3, 000 device that does 12 things well, and before long they would think, now I have a $ 3, 000 device that only does 12 things well by picking up dust. We do not want it to be expensive so that it can be accessible to everyone, nor do we want it to be used in the short term, we want it to be functional for as long as possible and for the buyer to truly believe that they made a good investment.
