HoloLens is the most ambitious product Microsoft has ever created. HoloLens’ ability to augment reality through an immersive virtual reality world has won it accolades from all quarters. HoloLens can create high quality holograms that can be integrated seamlessly into the physical world. The gadget also promises to take computing to the next level by having a standalone software and other independent capabilities. Although HoloLens offers a lot of promise for the future of computing not much is known of its potential price, specifications, and possible release date. Read on to find out.
Price
So, how much should HoloLens cost, considering the technological potential it carries? Comparable devices such as Oculus Rift cost about $300. Microsoft has remained tight-lipped on what HoloLens will cost. However, experts believe that a price tag of less than $500 should be expected if the expectations about the device having a mainstream acceptance are to hold true.
