Does anyone have a link to the demo video? This video refers to the first, but doesn't have much useful info in it.

This seems like a pretty big announcement and yet there's no real details. When is this shipping? What software is available? Weird.
Literally every word in the story is a lie.
Announce: No they didn't
New: No.
VR: No.
headsets: No.
They didn't announce anything, but every news media is getting paid a lot of money by Microsoft to spin whatever they want.
Microsoft always announce vaporware without price, specs, info — it's always fake, it's always testing in a controlled environment by clueless idiots who are handled by the demo staff, it's always marketed by completely engineered and CGI lies.
But they get away with it because the best response from the fucking people who are supposed to know is "Weird".
Really, that's the most you feel you can read into it?
That's why in 10 years we'll still have the same pesky bullshit.
I was super excited to preorder an Oculus on the first day... until I saw the price. At a more reasonable price point, this is probably going to get me started on VR, finally. I know it won't be the "best" quality, but the market's too fluid to invest heavily in the high end immediately.
Thanks microsoft shill

Likewise. I have phone-based VR and a beefy PC. The pricey headsets, limited content and exclusives for headsets have kept me out of the higher end. A friend (also a dev) and I were just chatting yesterday that we'd get hololens and attempt to write apps with it - were it not for the insane price (especially after I wasted almost 2K on Google's Glass debacle). A lower price point and wide availability across vendors…
You're talking about something you can't even name

Same with the Google Glass. At the time I was living in a place where $1k USD was way more than I wanted to pay. Looks like it was a good thing I didn't either. MS is probably selling this at a development loss (probably not a raw materials loss; betting the parts are I have a hard time believing the augmentation is as clear as they portray it to be, and you can't really tell without the product either (like trying t…

Can you define for the rest of us what "this" means in your sentence?
Explain it, describe it, give us info on it.
Thanks

Man was that ever boring. I was expecting some Direct3D or XBox integration, like a Forza game or something. Between the stale demo, the lack of technical details, and no release date, I wouldn't be surprised if the headset doesn't actually work all that well yet.
The best you could have would be ghost-like, aliasing cars looking like they're swimming around the surface of your coffee table, glitching out and dropping to the floor
