| [[HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset]] is part of the [[HP VR]]. In October last year, Microsoft announced that it has partnered with tech giants like Acer, HP, Asus, Dell, and Lenovo, to create virtual reality headsets. The developer version of the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset is ready, and developers can pre-order from the Microsoft Store.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Introducing the HP Windows MR Headset== | | The '''HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset''' is a [[Windows Mixed Reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[HP]]. Released in October 2017 as part of Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality platform launch, the HP headset features dual LCD displays at 1440 x 1440 per eye resolution, 90 Hz refresh rate, and 95-degree field of view. The headset uses HoloLens-derived inside-out tracking technology with two 180-degree infrared cameras, eliminating the need for external sensors.<ref name="hp">{{cite web|url=https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hp-windows-mixed-reality-headset,5665.html|title=HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset Review|publisher=Tom's Hardware}}</ref> |
|
| |
|
| The HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset isn’t the only hybrid reality headset that is soon to be released. Many other tech companies such as [[Acer]], [[Lenovo]], [[Dell]], and [[Asus]] are also working along similar lines. Interestingly, there are many similarities between the three gadgets. That’s because, all three [[mixed reality headsets]] are being built using the same [[virtual reality]] and [[mixed reality software]], with the same technical specifications, and based on the same reference design given by [[Microsoft]].
| | == History and Development == |
|
| |
|
| The HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset is available for pre-order, but only for developers. Microsoft also provides the necessary tools for developers to create apps and games for the headset. The developer edition of the HP Windows MR Headset is available for $329.
| | === Developer Edition === |
| | HP released a Developer Edition in August 2017 at $329 for early access. |
|
| |
|
| ==Hardware== | | === Consumer Launch === |
| | The consumer version launched in October 2017 alongside Windows 10 Fall Creators Update at $449. |
|
| |
|
| The HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset uses the double-padded headband design, instead of the three-way strap design, that most people are familiar. The headset is designed to ensure convenience and comfort. The headband design, foam pad on the segment that rests on the forehead, easy adjustment knob, and the hinge mechanism to hold the display component, offer the best immersive experience without straining the neck or head. The headset can be worn for many hours without pain or stress on the muscles.
| | === HoloLens Technology === |
| | Uses inside-out tracking technology derived from Microsoft HoloLens. |
|
| |
|
| The mixed reality headset comes with two 1440 x 1440 high-resolution displays. The biggest benefit of using the high-resolution display is that the risk of experiencing the [[screen door effect]] is quite minimal.
| | == Design and Hardware == |
|
| |
|
| The HP Windows MR Headset costs slightly more than the Acer model. That’s because HP has made a few changes of its own to the standard design. The HP headband features a knob to adjust the grip of the headset. Furthermore, the HP [[Windows]] design offers increased nose space and head strap padding.
| | === Display System === |
| | * '''Resolution:''' 1440 x 1440 per eye (2880 x 1440 total) |
| | * '''Refresh Rate:''' 90 Hz |
| | * '''Display Type:''' LCD |
| | * '''Field of View:''' 95 degrees |
|
| |
|
| The [[HTC Vive]] and [[Oculus Rift]] – two of the best [[HMD headsets]] – use external sensors to capture the surrounding. On the other hand, the HP Windows MR Headset comes fitted with front-facing cameras. These embedded, room-sensing, cameras offer 6 [[degrees of freedom]]. Now, the users can move left, right, up, down, forward and back. HP Window offers truly immersive mixed reality experience using both positional and rotational (orientation) tracking.
| | === Headband Design === |
| | * Double-padded headband |
| | * Adjustment knob for grip |
| | * Increased nose space |
| | * Enhanced head strap padding |
|
| |
|
| ==Apps and Games== | | === Flip-Up Visor === |
| | Hinged visor design allows flipping screen up to see real world without removing headset. |
|
| |
|
| Many interesting concepts have seen premature deaths because there was not enough encouragement and incentive for their adoption. To encourage rapid adoption of this relatively new technology, the makers are planning to introduce numerous Windows Mixed Realty games and apps that can run on a wide range of HMD headsets and [[personal computers (PC)]].
| | == Tracking == |
|
| |
|
| ==Input Options== | | === Inside-Out System === |
| | * 2x 180-degree infrared cameras |
| | * 6 degrees of freedom |
| | * No external sensors required |
| | * HoloLens spatial tracking technology |
|
| |
|
| The HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset comes with a wide range of input options such as keyboards, mice, gamepads, and gaze, gestures, motion, and voice controller input options. The [[positional tracking]] and [[rotational tracking]] features built-in the headset and motion controllers offer the users the freedom to give form to their imagination. Users can create the content they envision; the only limitation is the user’s imagination.
| | === Room Recognition === |
| | Cameras identify distinct objects as reference points for tracking. |
|
| |
|
| ==Development Kit== | | == Controllers == |
|
| |
|
| Microsoft’s [[Universal Windows Platform]] is a boon to the developers. Developing new apps and games has never been easier and simpler. With the necessary skill set and a single set of APIs that Microsoft offers, developers can create amazing apps and games in no time. To join the community of developers, access the developer tools, check the system recommendation, and read the documentation, developers can visit the [[Windows Dev Center]].
| | === Windows MR Controllers === |
| | * Sold separately or bundled |
| | * 6DoF tracking |
| | * Bluetooth connectivity |
| | * Haptic feedback |
|
| |
|
| ==Release Date and Cost== | | == System Requirements == |
|
| |
|
| HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset is set for release in August 2017. For now, the mixed reality headset is meant only for developers. The consumer version isn’t far behind. Microsoft plans to roll out the consumer versions of the MR headset before the holiday season. The developer version of the HP Windows Mixed Reality Headset is priced at $329. It’s posted on the Microsoft website that the personal computer (PC) specifications for the headset given on the website might vary.
