Microsoft’s HoloLens Now On Preorder In Six Additional Markets, As Augmented Reality Gets Global
Microsoft is opening up preorders for its HoloLens augmented reality headgear to six new markets around the globe. As of Oct. 12, potential buyers from France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, New Zealand and Australia can get the headset.
Six and a half months ago, Microsoft released the Development edition of HoloLens for Canada and the U.S, and 18 months ago the company showcased the device for the first time.
The standard price for HoloLens is $3,000 in the U.S., and regional price tags will be based on it, with minor differences because of exchange rates. Shipping of Microsoft's headset is scheduled to start in November for those who have the cash to afford it.
The headset is strong in specs, but its caveat comes from another direction: the only language available for HoloLens, at least for the moment, is English.
