powerful and with a wider field of view than the one that failed to set
the world on fire three years ago, is now available to pre-order – as long
as you’re a business.
The cheery images of families gathered round playing Minecraft, or
other friendly mixed-reality pursuits, have fallen away to be replaced
with a focus on engineers calmly fixing things with holographic help,
or shoppers using headsets in-store to see how a new purchase will fit in
with their existing home furnishings.
Also new is an Azure developer kit, underlining the link between the
headset and the cloud rather than with an individual Windows PC.
Developers can license the technology this time around rather than
buying it outright, opening the door to custom headsets tailored to
specific industrial applications and apps to support them.$3,500 microsoft.com
