Microsoft Once Believed HoloLens Could Be Gaming's Future, Now It's A Military Product

I don't see how mixed reality could be gaming's future when it relies on your own environment to project on to. Gaming is an escape from reality.
Simulator games, where people play with specialized hardware specifically modeled after real control systems on real world vehicles. Such as flight simulators, train simulators, tank simulators, etc.
Just because you play video games as an escape from reality, doesn't mean video games have to be intentionally different from the reality.
Ok but how would projecting a detailed control system onto your desk be any better than a normal HMD that shows where your hands are in a completely virtual environment?
You're misunderstanding, the glasses would project everything else, the controls are real.
The future of gaming is spending thousands of dollars on a custom built 1 to 1 cockpit and then yet more thousands of dollars on a headset that cannot possibly properly track where the outline of the controls end and the room begins to project a 3-dimensional space without clipping and breaking immersion.
It's still relying on your own environment and this is describing an extremely niche market.
