El liderazgo de Mass Effect pasa a Microsoft

Microsoft anunciado esta mañana que Casey Hudson, el antiguo director de proyecto de Bioware responsable del Mass Effect ha asumido el cargo de director creativo en Microsoft. Hudson trabajará principalmente en proyectos para HoloLens, pero sus responsabilidades incluirán también el trabajo con Xbox.

Speaking on the potential for HoloLens Hudson said, “I am extremely passionate about the potential of this kind of technology, as anyone who’s talked with me over the last couple of years can attest. I feel that the work being done at Microsoft on mixed reality and holographic computing will have a tremendous impact on how all of us interact with technology in the coming years.”

“I was fortunate to try an early prototype of HoloLens before it was announced, and I was blown away by the technology and what it was already capable of. Walking on Mars while sipping coffee in an office setting, Skyping with a friend who can draw on the walls of my environment, sculpting an object in 3D modeling software while a hologram of it sits on a table next to me… These first experiences cemented my belief that holographic computing was where I needed to be. There’s no end to the potential of this technology, and I look forward to being able to influence the full-spectrum experience on HoloLens, from hardware to OS, to applications and games.”

Hudson abandonó Bioware el pasado agosto tras 15 años en la empresa. Allí fue director de producto de Star Wars: Caballeros de la Antigua República así como los tres Mass Effect títulos. También participó en la fase inicial del cuarto juego hasta su marcha el verano pasado. En su nuevo puesto reportará a Kudo Tsunoda, CVP de Next Gen Experiences.
