Ex-BioWare veteran Casey Hudson has joined Microsoft as a creative director to work on "HoloLens, and is an augmented reality experience for both PC and console, and it is achieved through wearing headset with a built-in GPU and CPU. According to Microsoft HoloLens is the "most advanced holographic computer the world has ever seen."

HoloLens features see-through HD holographics, spatial sound that allows users to hear sounds all around them, and has advanced sensors that can capture environment information.

Microsoft distinguishes itself from other similar head-sets such as Sony's Morpheus and Oculus Rift by "delivering a mixed reality of both [the] digital world and [the] real world."

"We are integrating holograms into the world around you--transforming the ways you create, connect, and explore. We hope holographic experiences on Windows 10 will help drive continued innovation in this category."

PC is the platform of focus for the Oculus Rift, as the virtual reality headset company has opted to put development for Linux and OS X platforms on hold for the time being.

"Our development for OS X and Linux has been paused in order to focus on delivering a high quality consumer-level VR experience at launch across hardware, software, and content on Windows," Oculus Chief Architect Atman Binstock said in a post on the Oculus blog. "We want to get back to development for OS X and Linux but we don’t have a timeline."
