Microsoft HoloLens devkit pricing
The HoloLens development kit will cost $3,000 and will be available from the first quarter of 2016, Microsoft announced at a recent Windows 10 event.
Microsoft used the event to show off a demonstration of the device it calls “mixed reality gaming”.
A demo subject wearing the Project XRay headset ran through a game where (virtual) robots tore through stage dressing and attacked him.
He returned fire with a virtual gauntlet that appeared around his hand which held a real controller.
Microsoft also showed how entities in the virtual space interacted with real-world objects by having robots navigate around a couch.
Explosions going off on the couch and pieces or robot flying all over the room seemed to bounce off the right surfaces.
Microsoft said it will soon start taking applications from developers for the HoloLens development kit.
