Easter Sunday is pussy licking movies and videosjust hours away, and since it's 2017, and we're apparently living in the future, Microsoft has unveiled the first ever augmented reality Easter Egg hunt.
The game was unveiled this weekend in Los Angeles at the VRLA conference where Microsoft and a team of AR developers allowed me to enter a surrealist forest construct where holographic eggs could be found using the HoloLens headset.

And when I discovered my first Easter Egg, the egg responded to my gaze by exploding open into a Disney-like flourish of color and sound.

For example, when I made my final egg discovery, a small dragon emerged from the egg.
But instead of hovering in place, the virtual dragon flew above my head and then traveled around the very real tree construct in the room and then returned to its original position.

Beyond AR games like Pokémon Go and the like, this is the first time we've seen a glimpse of what might be possible when merging pre-mapped real world environments with AR in a way that blurs the line between reality and the vast possibilities of holographic experiences.

"Imagine an amusement style attraction with film-quality assets and more advanced headsets with wider FOVs and the ability to not only additively draw on top of your vision but replace what you are seeing as well."
