Microsoft’s Xbox Labs to Test Emerging Gaming Ideas and Technology
Xbox Labs will build its projects openly and learn from how people use them. The company also plans to share the tools it develops with game developers across the industry.
Sharma noted that coding became an early major workload for software agents because they can write, run, and test software. Games share many of these characteristics, making the gaming industry a potential area for further technological experimentation.
According to Sharma, people spend more than 72 billion hours a year playing Xbox games, which is nearly five times the estimated time spent writing code worldwide.
She also noted that Xbox’s 25 years of game development experience could help its creators shape what emerging technologies make possible.
