Love a stranger
Buy them a Hololens.
Make that stranger me :D
Microsoft has started selling its HoloLens virtual reality headsets to all of its business customers and developer partners in the United States of America and Canada. Redmond's still not offering the finished product – only a “Development Edition” is on sale for now. But at least the hardware is now being offered to anyone …
We got to have a little play with one of these at work. I have to admit, I want it - just not for £3k.
The way it lets you use augmented reality is really nice, it seems to recognise surfaces very well and lets you stick things in place in the real world in a very cool way. The UI still seems a little clunky (the hand gestures are a little hard to get used to at first) but this will likely improve as we get used to it.
Sign me up for the consumer version once it comes down in price a bit!
