This year, when Microsoft showed off the early edition of its HoloLens augmented- reality goggles; it took the opposite Intransitive : targeting the software developers it needs to make the device much useful. No stunts. No fashion spreads. No consumer marketing at all. Some of the industry veterans considered it as an even bigger opportunity than its cousin, virtual reality, which completely submerged users in an artificial world. But an early efforts around augmented reality, including Google Glass and Microsoft's Glass predecessor to HoloLens called Kinect, have been sputtered.

Kinect turned user mind into
commands, and arranged sensors and even cameras to map the rooms where it was set up, creating the foundation for a more immersive gaming experience.
Consumers liked Kinect, but it never lived up to its full potential, in part because it Produces no blockbuster games. Microsoft failed to persuade top gaming studios to invest seriously in Kinect, developers say, and by
2014 it was no longer being
included with Xbox consoles.
But the Kinect technology found a second life.
