Kudo Tsunada, who has just recently been promoted within the Xbox team with a new mandate to lead Microsoft Studios across the US, Europe, and other territories around the globe, has been featured in the latest issue of Game Informer. In his interview with the gaming magazine [via Game Spot], he said: “The thing that HoloLens does is allow you to blend your digital world with your real world. Bringing of those two things together unlocks all kinds of different experiences. None of that stuff is things you could do with VR. It's nothing against VR; I think VR is great tech.

British firm Ultrahaptics has developed a unique technology that enables users to receive tactile sensations from invisible three dimension objects floating in mid-air, according to the Daily Mail. Ultrahaptics is the world’s leading touch-less haptics company. The technology it developed uses ultrasound to project sensations through the air and directly onto the user. By focusing complex patterns of ultrasound emanating from a specially designed pad, the air disturbances can be manipulated into floating 3D shapes that can be 'felt.' Users can ‘feel’ touch-less buttons, get feedback for mid-air gestures, or interact with virtual objects and holograms. The firm says the technology could even allow surgeons to reach 'inside' a hologram of a scan and 'feel' tumors.Read more
