Stress Level Zero, the developers behind forthcoming HTC Vive / Steam VR title Hover Junkers, have come up with a series of concept titles for the Microsoft Hololens which we’d love to see become a reality.

Remember long journeys in the back of the car with your family, when teasing your siblings has worn off and your mind is going numb with boredom? Stress Level Zero think that the Hololens augmented reality system may well be the answer to future kiddie-based travel tedium as they’ve presented a concept video of titles they’d like to play.

From a reality-embedded Metal Slug to taking on hordes of encroaching military hardware alongside car-top mounted artillery to grabbing gold rings, Sonic the Hedgehog style with the car your sat in, they’re all something we’d love to have had as kids. The exciting things is, these concepts seem absolutely possible with HoloLens’ impressive ability to overlay virtual objects into your physical space.

Let’s hope Microsoft catch wind of the concept video and steer HoloLens towards the entertainment track and use this video as a roadmap.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.

    If only it did cover your entire field of view. Oh, well… version 2 maybe, certainly by version 4.
