Microsoft has shown a Pokémon Go tech demo in which the mobile pocket monster phenomenon is playable via the company’s Hololens VR headset.
A video of the demonstration, labelled as “proof of concept” and “not for consumer use”, was part of a presentation detailing Microsoft Mesh, the company’s new mixed reality platform (thanks, The Verge).
Introduced by Niantic boss John Hanke – the company’s own Professor Willow – the demo shows how players can interact with creatures in VR, rather than AR, and use virtual controls which float around the user’s wrist.
