Windows 10 recently announced a series of new products that aim to bring a very interesting technology to this platform at a much more affordable price. We are talking here about mixed reality, a version of virtual reality that Microsoft calls differently, although it is practically exactly what we have known for years, only that having support in Windows 10 it can be offered at more affordable prices.
Many headsets for mixed reality compatible with Windows 10 are to be launched in the next period on the market, with prices starting from only 350 dollars. Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo are some of the manufacturers that will bring mixed reality to Windows 10 with the help of their own headsets, and in the video clip below you have a demonstration of how they will work.
Basically, Windows 10 is emulated in mixed reality with an interface similar to that of the operating system and a multitude of control options taken from computers. You can notice that we are also talking about applications for Windows 10 that will be available in the mixed reality of those from Microsoft, including the browser for surfing the Internet, a calendar, an alarm clock and many others.
Windows 10 – What is Mixed Reality and how much do special headsets cost?
Windows 10 is practically at the center of this effort by Microsoft to make mixed reality popular, the American company wanting to bring such a headset to every user's home. With a price of 350 dollars per headset, the mixed reality in Windows 10 is much cheaper than what companies like Oculus Rift or HTC offer, but the user experience should be identical for users.
The Mixed Reality in Windows 10 is basically a virtual reality named differently, because the user will control elements from a virtual interface, but in a better way. The headsets for mixed reality dedicated to Windows 10 will have the sensors implemented in the visor of the headset, not in various areas of the camera, and the joysticks are thought to facilitate easier use of the entire system even without a computer.
Windows 10 is the first major operating system for computers that had support for virtual reality, and in the case of mixed reality it is the only one, because the whole idea was invented by Microsoft. How successful mixed reality will be for Windows 10 is very difficult to say at the moment, but the video clip above shows us that soon users will have a cheaper option to play with a still rudimentary technology.
