Speaking to Eurogamer, Spencer didn't rule out Microsoft dipping its toes into the virtual space, saying that while the company will focus on its Hololens tech, that doesn't mean VR is out of the question.The Hololens "doesn't preclude us from doing anything in the VR space either from a first-party or partnership perspective," he said."The discussions are great as all of us look forward into where this space is going to go," Spencer said, adding that while the technology is certainly exciting, he doesn't believe the tech has quite yet matured for market. He's confident, however, in the innovative presence brought to the space by the game industry."The games industry is always a place for innovation," he said, citing advances in artificial intelligence and voice recognition.While Sony and Valve are both venturing into the VR world, Microsoft chose to instead introduce its augmented reality headset, the Hololens. Rather than immerse the wearer in an entirely new world, as is the case with VR, the Hololens instead uses the surroundings of the real world as the canvas upon which it paints its augmented reality picture.Sony boss Shuhei Yushida recently told us why he's so excited for Project Morpheus and the future of gaming.
