How HoloLens could benefit existing PC and Xbox games (video)

A video popped up that shows how existing games like Final Fantasy XIV can benefit from augmented reality headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens device. Twitter user Tanfuku demonstrates how UI elements of Final Fantasy XIV can be displayed outside of the game world:

Tanfuku's video shows how HoloLens could be used by the popular MMO Final Fantasy XIV to display stats, maps, inventory menus, and other panels that are entirely necessarily for gameplay, but heavily clutter up the interface.

It's a neat concept but I think we need affordable, high-quality smart glasses with great wearing comfort before something likes this can take off.
