In Fragments you are a detective in a high tech crime thriller. Life-sized characters who are aware of you will share your space and interact with you in mixed reality. Spacial mapping means that characters are able to lean on walls or sit down next to you whilst talking and digital clues can be hidden behind objects in the room.

Check out the video for Fragments below.

Young Conker is an adventure game in which you guide the titular hero through an ever changing world. Playing in different rooms and from different angles will give you a unique experience each time as Conker reacts accordingly to the landscape. He'll bounce along a couch or flail his arms when near the edge of a table, for example.

HoloLens is controlled by gaze tracking, gestures, voice commands and a Bluetooth clicker that comes with the device. It's fully untethered and self-contained, so no PC or console is required to use it. The headset has Windows 10 built into it and can access the app store.

Pre-orders for the development edition of HoloLens are now live for those in North America with $3,000 to spare, and the devices will start shipping at the end of this month.

How do you think it will fare against the competition, PlayStationVR and HTC Vive? Let us know in the forums.
