Conker's Bad Fur Day prequel 'Young Conker' revealed for Microsoft HoloLens
Make sure to tidy up because Young Conker will literally be inside your home soon!
Microsoft has announced Young Conker for its HoloLens device.
Young Conker is a new game that will only be available on the Microsoft HoloLens. The title will have players guiding a younger version of Conker through the real world. Conker will be able to interact with your surroundings as he’ll be able to bounce on your couch, climb up onto your coffee table, and fight the evil Tediz wherever he goes.
Young Conker allows players to play the same level across different rooms, which would offer a completely unique experience every time. We’re sure it’ll only be a matter of time until someone takes the game into the bathroom to see what kind of hijinks Conker can get himself into there.
We learned about Young Conker earlier this month as a leak on the Windows 10 Store was discovered. Not only was Young Conker leaked, but another game called "Fragments" and an app called "HoloStudio" were also revealed.
Microsoft has yet to reveal a release date of when we can expect Young Conker to be available on its HoloLens.

MS's augmented reality headset. It's like a pair of transparent goggles and when you look through them they add 3D stuff to the environment around you. It maps the room and knows where tables and things are and can draw 3D things on the display that appear to be real and interact with real objects.
It's two things: a pair of holographic waveguides which make the picture appear as an overlay, and a kinect pointing outwards that does the mapping of the world around you. Plus a laptop and some custom chips in the headset to drive it. It's a self-contained thing, no wires and no PC.
Downsides: $3,000 and the field of view is tiny. If you hold your fists at arms length with the thumbs extended and the tips touching (does that make sense?), that's the fov, it's less than 40 degrees.
Magic Leap are doing something slightly similar but with a different display tech that supposedly does not have this fov limitation. But they've not actually demoed anything publicly and keep missing their own deadlines, so who knows what's happening there. -

This tech is pretty amazing. I can't wait to see what it looks like in 2-3 years. I think the FOV with this gen would drive me crazy, hopefully they can improve that.

It be real cool to try out and make something that is for sure. I bet in a few years the tech will be insane(well i hope).
Cool stuff no doubt.-
Nope.

Dat FOV Tho

Same, I know its brutal for a regular person to drop that amount of cheddar LOL.
Still MS said the price is so high cause its not consumer grade more like hard core grade for industry and other none regular consumers. If I was rich I get one to play with and think of it like a KS, that is really what it is at this point but fully working and with a MS grade SDK. So its not bad in that aspect at all.
In time the tech will get better and the price will drop but that will be a few years before its the price of the Rift. I bet the next Xbox will have it packed in as the next Kinect replacement.

Maybe it's so expensive because it's not in mass production and they only want actual developers buying them?
Because if the consumer version is that price then lol-

But... they're not the same thing.
-
now add a PC to the Rift dev kit and a battery to power it
-
-
-
it's hardly a pc. From what I've seen in the videos, it's nothing a good phone can process.
-
can't
-
-
im talking the processing power. that's nothing new. It's the optics that is new and is what's eating the costs.

I think you're missing all the scan-the-world-around-you stuff. It uses the kinect mounted on the front to make a 3d model of the room you are standing in in real time as you look around. It recognizes objects like tables and chairs and the 3d objects it overlays on the world will react with their surroundings. There's quite a powerful laptop in there, complete with fans and things.

I appreciate that they are actually showing how small the view-able space is now.

Nintendo's mid to late 90s character creations via Rare were pretty weak imo. Conker, Diddy Kong, everything from Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Kazooie. Maybe I'm misattributing these to Nintendo a bit, but I remember Rare and Nintendo being one and the same during that time.
