Even as Microsoft’s much-talked about futuristic ‘Mixed Reality’-based HoloLens is yet to enter India, PC maker Acer last week announced the launch of its ‘Windows Mixed Reality’ headset for the country. The company hasn’t disclosed the price of the device yet, but it is available in the US at a starting price of $270 (Rs 17,400 approximately).
Acer claims its Mixed Reality Headset provides users a world scale level of mixed reality experience which is more flexible and robust as compared to desk and room scale experiences, allowing virtually tour travel destinations, get inside exciting games, and view popular events and even travel across time and space within their own home.
“By introducing the mixed reality headset, we aim to bring best of our innovations to Indian customers. The Acer Windows Mixed Reality headset offers a plethora of exciting and engaging content that is continually evolving. Its ergonomic design, vibrant display and motion controllers make it the revolutionary device for those who embrace virtual reality and look for the best in technology,” said Chandrahas Panigrahi, CMO and Consumer Business Head.
Two front-hinged 2.89-inch high-resolution liquid crystal displays provide a wide 95-degree field of view. Its incredible 2880x1440 resolution lets you enjoy an incredibly interactive and immersive VR experience. A fast refresh rate of up to 90Hz delivers clear and realistic images for an eccentric mixed reality experience.
