Microsoft unveiled the second iteration of HoloLens on Sunday (24 February), promising its new mixed-reality headset would be more comfortable, immersive and useful than its predecessor. It’s also more expensive; the $3,500 pricetag is $500 more than developers currently pay for HoloLens.

For the extra cash, buyers can expect a field of view which is more than double the size of the first device. “This is the equivalent of moving from a 720P television to a 2K television for each of your eyes,” HoloLens chief Alex Kipman told reporters. “These are the smallest and most power-efficient 2K displays in existence.”
