Microsoft Mixed Reality and the Windows Store Experience

A host describes a visit to a Microsoft Store to test the Mixed Reality headset, comparing the spatial interface to the film Minority Report. The experience allows users to arrange multiple application windows in a virtual "Cliff House" environment rather than using traditional alt-tabbing. Observations are made regarding the lack of branding at the Microsoft Store compared to the crowded Apple Store nearby.
