Microsoft opens applications for $3000 HoloLens development kit
 

Hot on the heels of HTC and its Vive VR headset, Microsoft is opening up shop with a version of its HoloLens augmented-reality headset. Unlike Oculus' Rift and the Vive, however, Redmond isn't making HoloLens hardware available to just anybody. The company is taking applications for a Development Edition of the HoloLens hardware from developers in the USA or Canada. Prospective users also need to be Windows Insiders, and they'll need to be comfortable providing feedback on the AR headset to Microsoft. Applicants deemed worthy of a kit will then need to fork over $3000 for the hardware.
