1 Big Reason Microsoft's Vision For Mixed Reality Failed
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) was the first company to introduce a revolutionary device in a new emerging technology called mixed reality (MR). At the time, many thought Microsoft was the leading player in what could be a next-generation computing platform. However, although it might have jumped out of the gate into pole position in this exciting new technology, there is no guarantee that it can maintain the lead.
Here is one big reason why Microsoft's vision for mixed reality could ultimately fail.
Alex Kipman, the inventor and lead developer of HoloLens smart glasses, described it as the first fully untethered holographic computer -- a mixed reality device. HoloLens can blend the real world with computer-generated virtual objects or holograms that users can interact with via hand gestures or voice commands. The first version was sold in 2016 as an experimental proof-of-concept device to developers for $3,000 and enterprises for $5,000.
