Microsoft's Mixed Reality Dev Days give developers a chance to attend sessions, learn new skills, and learn from other developers. It will also be interesting to see if Microsoft has any more news to share on its mixed reality efforts at the event. The company has been relatively quiet on mixed reality recently, apart from the launch of HoloLens 2 last year

The event takes place right before Build 2020, Microsoft's biggest developer event of the year, which will run May 19-21 in Seattle, Washington.

Would make for a long week in Seattle!
Too bad mixed reality is just called HoloLens nowadays.. Somehow their VR platform seems to have been dissolved before it even matured.
Yep. So silly.
To bad that is not true with HP and Samsung coming out with New Headsets and Samsung's is going to have 4 cameras. Kind of sucks that MS came out with inside tracking and all the other VR fanboys laughed and made fun of it and then everyone copied them lol. I am just waiting for MS to come out with the next big version of WMR that everyone will copy again .
