virtual 3D images on what you're seeing in the real world.
Speaking to CNET the father of HoloLens Alex recently says that Hololens will get "more,realistic,awesome,intelligent,delicious"but not cheaper any time soon.
A Microsoft representative recently revealed that only “thousands” of
HoloLens headsets were sold, and Alex confirmed that Microsoft was
focusing on enterprise customers, not consumers,
At the Education technology conference BETT in United Kingdom Roger Walkden from the HoloLens team revealed, that sales of the headset are so far in the ‘thousands’, insisting that’s all the company needs.
"We're not trying to sell hundreds of thousands or millions or anything, it's expensive, and it's not in huge numbers. So we're happy with the level of sales that we've got - I can't tell you anything about the numbers, but it's in thousands, not hundreds of thousands, and that's fine. That's all we need," he said.
Asked about future plans of waiting the production costs to lower, Walkden assured that HoloLens is currently in its version one and the VR market is new. “There’s a roadmap we’re following. For now this is the only device we need in order to get people started on their journey.”
The price for Hololens Development Kit that only developers can buy is about $3,000 while the commerical suite for $5000.
It also remains to be seen if Microsoft will ever really come out with a consumer-focused AR headset.It may end up pushing some of this technology through its partner manufactures as the company has hinted in the past that some of its partners could create their own affordable versions of the Hololens.
