There is no doubt that Microsoft has shown off some tremendously exciting applications that can / could / should be achieved with its HoloLens product, and now you can get your own to develop with for a mere $3000. However, shipping is free. It has only been a few months since Microsoft got HoloLens hardware out to partners to develop with, and seeing them open this up to the "public" is probably a sign that this thing is working very well. Lots of videos to check out that give you a better look into what can be done with this headset.

Ship it - I understand HoloLens Development Edition is intended for developers - not consumers - and experiences are in English only. Additionally, I acknowledge there are no refunds available on the HoloLens Development edition.

Only $3000? I'll just change my world a lot cheaper with a few beers.

That just gave me a great idea for a Beer Goggles AR app. Do face detection and then replace it with your favorite super model/actress/porn star's face during sex. Short term solution would nix the goggles and use a smart phone ala pokemon go.

Anybody want to fund the development :). Might run into licensing issues with people, but that's what lookalikes are for...

No. That's a terrible idea.

If you're wearing these at a bar, you don't have to worry about sex.
 
I would love to play with one. I just have to convince my company that we need one for 'testing'.
 
Translation: "We're dropping the application requirement, please just somebody - ANYBODY - buy these things."

HoloLens is destined for the same graveyard as Kinect.
 
They are going to need to get the consumer price way down before they ever catch on. Hell, $800 for VR is making me pause - that's "wife permission level". $3000 is a whole new category - I can get a beast of a computer upgrade for that.

Like company purchase req forms:

$0-$100: Requires receipt
$101-$500: Requires budget adjustment
$501-$2000: Requires wife signature
$2001 - above: Requires wife signature + something diamond for her as deposit.
 
People actually buy little theater bags for their popcorn to eat at home instead of using a bowl?

Come on guys it's the next pokemon go. I'll call it "Poke the Ho" or something :). In all seriousness, the idea was my horrible attempt at sarcasm which apparently didn't go over well.

What would you rather have:

'Poke the Ho'

or

Hookers & Blow
?
