Diverse Windows Mixed Reality Headset designs
Last year at Computex, Terry Myerson and Alex Kipman invited partners to join us in building devices that merge physical and virtual realities. Since then we have seen Windows Mixed Reality Headsets from partners like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

At the show this year, we are able to show off the great new designs from these partners making mixed reality available for everyone later this year. These headsets, coming to market this holiday, use Microsoft’s platform to enable a single and consistent user interface, standardized inputs, and a universal app platform for developers.

HP Windows Mixed Reality headset

During Alex Kipman’s Build keynote, we announced that Windows Mixed Reality dev kits from Acer and HP are now available for pre-order through the Microsoft Store for developers in the US (Acer, HP) and Canada (Acer, HP). The response to these dev kits has been positive and we look forward to seeing all the great content that our development ecosystem will create.

ASUS Windows Mixed Reality headset

As a leading gaming and innovation partner, ASUS is expanding on its prowess into the fast emerging mixed reality category. In addition to its Oculus-Ready ROG gaming desktops and VR-Ready VivoPC X, ASUS will be adding a futuristic head-mount device with a unique polygonal 3D cover panel, designed with comfortable ergonomically adjustable strap, enabling an easy one-hand setup. ASUS is engaged with Microsoft to make this HMD fast, powerful, and ultra-light with a six degrees of freedom (DOF) tracked motion controller, for an incredible, immersive MR experience.

Dell Windows Mixed Reality headset

Dell is building on their Virtual Reality (VR) leadership in premium gaming and professional creation by partnering with Microsoft to deliver an affordable consumer headset, which will bring mixed reality experiences to a broad audience. Dell’s stylish white headset is uniquely focused on user comfort, designed by the same team that crafts their premium XPS and Alienware PCs. The Dell headset, which will be available by holiday, is thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience with innovations such as comfortable cushions that can be replaced for a personalized experience, weight balanced headband centered on the user’s head for long-term comfort, cable routing to free the user from dangling wires and, a flip-up visor for easy wearing and removing.

Lenovo Windows Mixed Reality headset

Lenovo is partnering with Microsoft to bring this amazing technology to everyone through an incredibly affordable mixed reality headset for truly immersive, beyond-the-screen mixed reality experiences. Coming later this year, Lenovo’s mixed reality headset will contain built-in sensors to enable inside-out tracking and simplified set-up to let users move around more easily as they experience virtual worlds.​

Not super stoked about strapping something on my head but the ASUS one looks all kinds of Deus Ex cool. Looks like many are taking inspiration from the Sony design which is supposedly the most comfortable, correct? My god man, that Acer one is ugly as sin tho and cheap looking af. My guess is that these will work with Scorpio as well BUT Microsoft could also be waiting for the true wireless units to come. I'd rather wear a battery backpack to power this than have 18 wires hooked up. Wonder how much time/exposure MS will give to VR at E3...

That's the first time I've actually seen the ASUS and the Dell head units. All of the others look a bit similar, but these two look very different. I hope that the Microsoft strategy works. Affordable is great, but we need to know the quality of the experience.

I was wondering if we'd see a headset that worked with both Oculus or Vive and WinMR, but then I realized that they don't allow competing partner companies to make their headsets, which just might be their biggest mistake.

Also, Samsung just announced a display for VR that's 3X the resolution of Vive or Rift. Exciting, right? Turns out this will likely be the replacement display for both Oculus and Vive. What? That's right, Samsung makes the display for both current launch models of Rift and Vive. Good thing there is competition in PSVR, right? Well, it turns out that PSVR ALSO uses a Samsung display! Crazy, right? Combine that with Gear VR, and it's easy to see that Samsung has been silently ruling VR well ahead of anyone else for a while now, even if this hasn't been what the media has been telling us.

The more I see about Microsoft bringing all these other companies into the fold, the more I like their approach. Microsoft's main strength has always setting up competition for hardware makers, while owning the underlying software. It's good to see that the new leadership still gets that. They really get the economics of competition. Once they remodel their Hololens so that it's affordable and the FoV is increased to 90°+, they stand to make a "Surface Pro of Mixed Reality", and again, become the "How To" guys of their own little competition.

Oh, no worries on that. I believe the story. I was just talking about their facebook page. It seems they are trying to make it come across as official. I see some comments where people are asking questions like they think it is the Xbox team.
 
pity all that power is only going to be used for up-rezing X1 games.

such a waste to not have exclusive Scorpio games.
 
They should call it Scorpio and have a giant Scorpion in the middle of the box it comes in.

That's why I'm not excited about it as of yet. I'm hoping they will change other stance on it in the future like they have with other things in the past.
 
Once I hear a complaint from a developer that they cannot produce their vision for a game because it has to be compatible with Xbox One the First, then maybe it's of concern. Until that point:

More list wars? Lol

If Scorpio looks like a poor value, don't buy. It's just an option for those that want better performing games. There's nothing about the tech that makes it's capable of new experiences not possible on Xbox One.

Pro can offer uprez and more FPS.
Scorpio without exclusives is going to do the same to X1 games.

Such a waste of all that power.

Pro doesn't have exclusives. Scorpio doesn't have exclusives.

Pro offers better performance and graphics over PS4
Scorpio offers better performance and graphics over Xbox One

So it's like PC. I get the same game on lower spec PC's as those with the highest spec PC's.

Windows PC > Scorpio > PS Pro > PS4 > Xbox One S for performance and graphics

So what was your point?

Are you seriously that stupid.

So much power not being used on exclusives is the point.
