Microsoft insists on calling its new headsets “Mixed Reality” ones, when they’re really just virtual reality. At IFA in Berlin this week, Microsoft is showcasing all of its Mixed Reality headsets from PC makers like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Most of them are arriving next month, priced around $349 to compete with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. So what is Windows Mixed Reality really like? I got a chance to try it and find out. >Unlike some of the previous demonstrations of Windows Mixed Reality headsets, the experience now includes a portal and home area (Cliff House) where you can access games and apps. It’s the most impressive part of Windows Mixed Reality for me, and it acts like a virtual living room of sorts. You can drag and drop holograms around just like you can in HoloLens, pin apps to walls, and there’s also a separate cinema room for watching TV shows or movies.
