We continue to report on everything that Microsoft has presented this afternoon and that will soon be available in the market. Microsoft has an augmented reality system called Microsoft Hololens, a glasses that at the moment are aimed at a very specific audience (mainly companies), with which they can train personnel for very specific tasks. But the guys from Redmond don't want to be left out of virtual reality and have borrowed Microsoft Holographic VR, virtual and augmented reality glasses that will come from the hand of the next update of Windows 10, Creators Update, in March of next year.
Unlike the Hololens, these virtual reality glasses are much cheaper since they will hit the market starting at $ 299. These glasses do not need external sensors to function and will have a six-axis tracking system. But until The Windows 10 update named Creator Studio does not arrive, we will not be able to see or test these new virtual reality glasses and increased with which Microsoft wants to get fully into this world where HTC, Oculus and Sony are the ones that currently have the most presence.
Microsoft has sought the collaboration of Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Asus and HP to launch these glasses and offer them to the general public in the form of packs. It seems that Microsoft wants its new VR and AR glasses to catch on quickly Hence, it has tried to reach an agreement with the main computer manufacturers, although in this area, the guys from Redmond are standing up to them with the Surface Pro and Surface Book devices. Micorosft has today presented the second generation of the Surface Book, to which it has added the tagline i7, to differentiate it from the first generation and make it clear that it will only be sold with the Core i7 Sky Lake from eIntel.
