After seven years of development and billions of dollars in funding, Magic Leap is making available its augmented reality headset, the Magic Leap One Creators Edition, to developers and early adopters. No matter which category you fit into, be prepared to pay a premium—the asking price is $2,295.

The high price tag is not unusual for this sort of thing. Microsoft charges $3,000 the developer version of Hololens, and $5,000 for a commercial package that tacks on a warranty, added security, and various enterprise features. Likewise, Google initially sold a prototype version of its Glass goggles for $1,500 in 2013.
