back to article Microsoft debuts VR management suite as it expands HoloLens sales

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.

    I love that one of the apps is Skype,

    This seems like a cool idea, until I realized that the person to you are talking with gets to see an idiot wearing a HoloLens.

    Or they can't see you at all.

    Also my boss won't let me order one. :(

    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!

      Ohh you lucky bugger !!!

      did they resolve the issue with the letterbox effect ? Tbh, as exited as I am, that would be such a deal breaker for me as I am 100% certain, this will be a planned purchase not a yeah we can slip that in this month.
