Microsoft's official version of the MR system may take 10 years to get listed

Although Sony, Oculus, and HTC are all very optimistic about virtual reality, and have launched the consumer version of the headline, Microsoft is taking a different strategy. With elements of virtual reality and augmented reality (like HoloLens), the tech giant is developing a system called "mixed reality." However, don't think we can use this technology soon. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, said in an interview with Time magazine that Xbox and Windows 10 fans need a long wait to get a consumer version of a mixed reality device that integrates wireless technology. It may be 5-10 years. Spencer said: "I'm glad we've developed HoloLens, not because I think everyone will buy a $3,000 HoloLens. We said that this is not for everyone, it's just a development kit. Now we The Windows mixed realities starting at $299 are being developed with OEM partners, but even so, it's not easy because of all these cables hanging behind the head, especially in a home environment." But Spencer stressed that Microsoft's virtual reality or mixed reality technology will first land on Windows 10 PCs, because PC users are more willing to accept such peripherals than host players. Sony's PSVR head performance so far has been quite good. Earlier this month, Sony announced that PSVR has sold 1 million units, and this figure seems to be higher than the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. There is no doubt that the $400 price point of the PSVR system is an important selling point, because the price of Rift and Vive is 600 US dollars and 800 US dollars. Microsoft's latest host, the Xbox One X, seems to be perfectly suited to virtual reality. This device has enough horsepower to support native 4K resolution and 60fps, and will be the most powerful mainframe product in history after being released on November 7th.
