[BLOG] Hololens available to devs; costs $3k

Microsoft's been making a big thing of the Hololens during the VR hype that's been happening over the last year or so, and now they've announced that they're ready to take orders.



On the site they say that they plan to have units shipping out to developers in the Us and Canada during the first quarter of 2016 and are therefore looking for "creative developers to help us build an active, dynamic community". The price tag per unit though is a staggering $3,000. Wow.



Applying requires for the applicant to be a resident of the US (including Puerto Rico) or Canada; part of the Windows Insider program so that data gained by the developers can be fed back to Microsoft to help "define the future of holographic computing" and the hardwares and experiences will only be available in English.



Microsoft say that they'll be contacting certain chosen applicants to let them pre-order soon, with units shifting soon after that with more applications being accepted as more units become available.
