Some are already calling Microsoft’s attempt at virtual reality a dud, with Windows Mixed Reality being inferior to both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. This writer argues that current sets feature problematic sensors that leave a lot of blind spots, resulting in system glitches that ruin gameplay. Thanks cageymaru.
What problem in VR is Microsoft trying to solve? It could be argued that its headsets require less computing power than Rift and Vive and are less expensive, but recent price reductions for Rift and Vive have undercut that differentiation. Running VR on a laptop or less-expensive desktop computer could also be attractive, but with computer prices coming down, this advantage seems unsustainable.
