What is Windows Mixed Reality?
Windows Mixed Reality extends the CoR capabilities
Microsoft's new virtual reality platform will try to connect the virtual world to the real world. Similarly, as Microsoft is trying to do with the Hololens professional platform, WMR also comes with the ability to insert virtual objects into real-world environments, and vice versa, to use virtual elements in virtual space. The new type of VR, unlike Hololens, is aimed at ordinary users and entertainment, is much more accessible and its technical solution easier. It will also work on computers without a dedicated graphics card .
Another big advantage of Windows Mixed Reality is Microsoft's support, and thus the connection to the operating system and a number of its applications. Virtual reality will become one of the features of Windows 10. Many partners, including the Steam game store, should also be rich in content. Great user-friendliness is also a significant asset to WMR.

Headset with two cameras
Acer Windows Mixed Reality Headset must be constructively charged to the WMR platform, therefore the two most distinctive features of the glasses are the two cameras on the front. They both capture the real environment, allowing it to be interconnected with virtuality, but above all, they provide the orientation of the glasses in space. Unlike other systems, such as HTC Vive , the device will work on the so-called Inside-Out principle. This means that it is sufficient without other sensors in the room.
The pair of cameras on the front of the headset will be iconic for Windows Mixed Reality.

Microsoft Motion Controllers
Two wireless controllers can be used to control games and applications. On both, there are a total of 4 buttons, a touchpad and a small joystick. The power supply is provided by standard pencil batteries. The movement of the controls is somewhat limited, they must be constantly in the field of view of the cameras - the headset monitors the position of the controls in the space according to the circle of the diodes they are equipped with.
Windows Mixed Reality will be accessible through Acer glasses. Virtual world will be controlled by a pair of remote controls.
