Just a few weeks later, a new hardware maker, Samsung, launched its own Windows Mixed Reality headset. All of them were bundled with Microsoft's Windows Mixed Reality controllers, which meant that they actually missed that earlier starting target price of $299. All of them had the same hardware specs, including two 2.89-inch 1440x1440 displays with a 90hz refresh rate, a 105-degree horizontal field of view, and inside-out tracking. The first devices were sold for either $399 or $499. PC makers Dell, Acer, Lenovo, and HP finally put their Windows Mixed Reality headsets for sale to the general public in October 2017. At the same time, Microsoft announced hand controllers for these headsets that would be bundled with some of these devices. In May 2017, HP and Acer started offering mixed reality headset dev kits to developers. By opening up the Windows Mixed Reality platform to the industry at large, we anticipate the growth of holographic apps will make for stronger experiences and better devices for everyone. We’re unifying the mixed reality ecosystem around a platform that enables shared experiences and interoperability between headsets. Microsoft renamed “Windows Holographic” to “Windows Mixed Reality” to be more encompassing of the company’s broader vision for the platform. Microsoft also pushed the idea that mixed reality was a better plan than just the "normal" virtual reality for these kinds of headset.
In March 2017, the Windows Holographic platform got a name change to Windows Mixed Reality.
