Windows Mixed Reality platform is here and we got our hands on an Acer headset..but can it compete with the Rift and Vive?

The mixed reality looks like a cheap photoshop

No one looks cools with clunky headgear? Max did a damn good job at 1:25, but that red jacket destroyed it, should've been blue.

I used this product pre release as a demo. Was very disappointed in it.

Setup was very easy, headset is somewhat comfortable to me (I didn't have that 'nostril clamp' thing, despite having a big nose), but the screen looked terrible.

 

When I used this product, I knew next to nothing about it's specs and when I used it, the resolution looked like an Oculus rift DK1 level (together with this Acer headset, I have only ever used a DK1 and HTC Vive, for comparison). This could be due to the lenses not being close to my face.. but still.

The controllers felt cheap to me, when I compare it to the plastic controllers of all the consoles I used over the years.

 

I could mention the lack of cool demos for these headsets in the Windows Store and the overall confusing layout for getting at the VR/AR/MR stuff.. but that cannot be blamed on the device.

 

So... This product feels like a cool tech demo, that's about it for me.

MicroCenter is now selling this for $299, would you guys say its worth it at this price point?

my only question on this set up is does the lack of light houses fix the VR cross talk problem you had in the multi VR video when you hung the black out curtains?
