The VR hype train shows no sign of stopping, but I would argue that it hasn't set the world on fire in the way its major proponents would have liked.
Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR, Google Cardboard, and more. There seems to be no end in sight for companies who want to jump on the bandwagon, and Microsoft themselves today announced a major segue into the market.
Through the power of Windows Holographic, Microsoft is bringing features we've seen demonstrated in HoloLens to new VR headsets developed with partners like HP, ASUS, Lenovo, Acer and Dell. Microsoft was also proud to note that these headsets will start at $299, rather than Oculus Rift-level prices of $599 and higher.

As someone who has tried out various VR devices, I remain unconvinced by the technology as a necessary step for gaming, but Windows Holographic could change all that.
