$300 VR / MR

Acer's $300 Windows headset bodes well for the future of cheap VR

This new article gives a personal review of the Acer Headset. It verifies that this headset will be VR for all windows apps AND will be able to use MR apps devoped for the Hololens.
Aside from the low price, this unit will work using low-end laptops with integrated graphics. It is also different from other devices in that it contains some of the technology that is used in the Hololens. You can wear eyeglasses with it, so that is a plus in my book. However, what is really cool, you don't need external sensors to track your position. So it is basically plug-in-play.
