The prospect of owning a pair of mixed reality head-mounted smartglasses before most of your friends even find out what this futuristic technology is all about might sound appealing to some everyday PC consumers, but coughing up $3,000 on a developer-centric product will probably turn out to be a pretty bad investment.Unless you’re keen (and able) to help ...

No matter what your hardware preference, the era of high-quality consumer-ready virtual reality is upon us: following the January start to Oculus Rift pre-orders, HTC Vive pre-orders have themselves just gone live. That means we’ve got only a few short weeks to go before these devices are in the hands (and on the heads) of users everywhere, and we start seeing the ...

Right now, it feels like we’re on the cusp of a big new push into wearable devices, and this time we’re not talking about smartwatches, either; augmented reality headsets may have hit a bit of a false start with Google Glass, but next-gen hardware like Microsoft’s HoloLens promises to show us how things are meant to be done.
