Microsoft has started selling Windows Mixed Reality Developer Headsets- one manufactured by HP and another one manufactured by Acer. Both the headsets are on sale at Microsoft Store. The headsets were put on pre-order sale back in May exclusively for developers. After about three months, the two headsets have been made available for general public despite having the Developers tag. The Windows Mixed Reality Developers Headsets include 2.89-inch displays and six degrees of freedom tracking for Microsoft’s Windows Mixed Reality world.

  • Both the headsets are compatible with Windows 10 Creators Update. You have to enabkle the Developer Mode in order to pair up the headset with your PC. The price listing of the two headsets seem to be reasonable. However, the Microsoft Store suggests that the device should be paired up with an Nvidia GTX 980 / 1060 or higher to get a good experience. So, overall to avail good experience, the cost is high. But as fas as news are concerned, Microsoft is working on ameliorating the service so as to make the device work bst with minimal support from machines. Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo are all planning to release Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
