It's funny you should say that, because this is designed by the same guy. :dread:

The publisher of Grand Theft Auto 5 already tried HoloLens, called it 'extraordinary' - http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/21/78678 ... lens-gta-5

I use the voice control every day, it really is a game changer, but the motion and gesture controls are utter trousers.

I suppose that's not really anything to do with Kinect though, other than the fact they chose to house the mic array in with the camera.

The Verge's Tom Warren has tried it:

Someone should make some interactive animated versions of tabletop wargames for this.
