Here are some of them:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mixed Reality:<\/strong> Microsoft gave a demo of what its new platform will do, covering the AR\/VR spectrum with games, apps, and experiences. One such experience is Cliff House, a virtual work space and entertainment room.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Altspace VR:<\/strong> When the pioneering social VR app shut down this summer and was rescued by a &#8220;third party,&#8221; people wondered who that was. Turns out it was Microsoft, which acquired Altspace VR for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition was announced yesterday.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steam VR and Halo:<\/strong> Microsoft had previously announced that its new Mixed Reality headsets would support Steam VR titles. Developers can now access that support, and consumers will be able to access it later this year. In addition to the hundreds of VR titles available on Steam, on Oct. 17, Microsoft will offer free downloads of <em>Halo Recruit. <\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Odyssey and other headsets:<\/strong> The new Windows 10 platform is launching alongside a host of new headsets. In addition to the new Odyssey, which was made in partnership with Samsung, there are other headsets forthcoming from Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Asus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>2018 Olympics:<\/strong> This was announced previously in June, but yesterday Microsoft briefed the press that Intel is partnering with the International Olympic Committee to bring Windows Mixed Reality experiences to the 2018 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/?utm_source=hpp&amp;utm_medium=google_oo&amp;utm_campaign=GS100077\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60899\" src=\"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GoogleAnnoucements10-4-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" border=\"0\" srcset=\"http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GoogleAnnoucements10-4-17.jpg 1503w, http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GoogleAnnoucements10-4-17-150x71.jpg 150w, http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GoogleAnnoucements10-4-17-1024x482.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/danielschristian.com\/learning-ecosystems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/GoogleAnnoucements10-4-17-768x362.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1503px) 100vw, 1503px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2017\/10\/4\/16418730\/google-event-live-stream-video-supercut-replay-2017\">Watch the Google Pixel 2 event in 19 minutes<\/a><\/strong> &#8212; from the verge.com by <span class=\"c-byline__item\"><span class=\"c-byline__item\"> Natt Garun<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span>The Google Pixel event has wrapped and we got a good look at a bunch of new hardware lineup this year: the second generation of Pixel smartphones, new Google Homes, a Pixelbook, and a surprise new Google camera that uses artificial intelligence to snap pictures and videos of your family.
