Microsoft opens up Mixed Reality partnerships
Microsoft is on a mission to empower everyone to achieve more, and one of the ways we are doing that is through innovation with the most comprehensive approach to mixed reality- from handheld AR to immersive VR to the world’s first and still only self-contained holographic computer, HoloLens. At this event, we demonstrated how we are invested in mixed reality technology and are continuing the journey with our community of developers, commercial partners and consumers.

- Unveiled the latest device to join our growing family of Windows Mixed Reality headsets, Samsung, and share full pre-order and availability details of all existing headsets launching from October 17.
- Announced developers can gain access to Windows Mixed Reality SteamVR preview so they can test their existing content, and consumers will gain access to the preview program this holiday.
