Watch 3D Movies on ASUS Windows Mixed Reality Headset

ASUS's first mixed reality headset has plenty of pleasant surprises: light, powerful and fun to use, it's well worth a look. Most of the technology inside is common across all of the manufacturers, but ASUS has worked hard to make its offering unique where it can. For example, it used a polygonal-art covering for the visor, ensuring that it looks much nicer than, say, Acer's View Master-esque offering. Similarly, ASUS's headset feels much lighter than its rivals' models, and the company included an antimicrobial cushion inside.

Comparing Windows Mixed Reality Headsets from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung

Windows Mixed Reality is Microsoft's hottest investment of 2017, extending the traditional desktop experience to a fully-realized virtual world. With its official debut kicking off this fall, a wide range of third-party hardware partners are already investing in the platform, with headsets from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung. Let's take a closer look at what expect from each of these devices.
