Microsoft VR Headset
Microsoft announced
that they will bring support for VR headsets and mixed reality. Microsoft
is partnering with HP, Lenovo, Dell, Acer and ASUS who will sell their first VR
headsets capable of mixed reality through the Creators Update.
These VR headsets will have built-in sensors to
enable inside-out, six-degrees of freedom for simplified setup and to more
easily move around your home as you experience virtual worlds without any
markers “Unlike every other virtual reality headset in the market today, there
will be zero need for a separate room and complicated setup,” said Microsoft.
The VR headsets will work with HoloTour software
included with the HoloLens headset to transport you to countries and places
around the world. From within Microsoft’s virtual world you can create your own
space. The new VR headsets will work with affordable laptops and PCs, arrive in
2017, and start at US$ 299.
