The HP Mixed Reality Developer Edition Headset is available for developers only.

This probably means those people got a popup when they checked out that said "Please check this tick box which indicates that you are a developer and understand that this isn't a consumer product" and probably another that said "you read the part about no refunds, right?"

Yeah, people dumb. That said, if I had $330 to blow and free time, I'd love a mixed reality headset to dick around with, developer or not. I just wouldn't post negative reviews that it doesn't work with my Microsoft Surface, especially since, y'know, I can read system requirements.

I love that "This does't work with the microsoft surface line of computers"

Those aren't computers you dolt they're tablets. No loving way was a HMD that requires a discreet high end graphics card going to work on your surface and its system-on-a-chip!

Just know that this isn't even at the Oculus Rift DK1 level yet. Practical Augmented Reality is still like 5+ years out. Its not consumer ready by any means. Cool poo poo for NASA though.

No its the other way around, AR is actually much harder and more demanding than VR.

We're already at a point where VR is consumer ready and we're making improvements on the hardware, but AR is really hard and needs more work before its ready.

Not the thread for this, but it depends on where you put the goalpost. They'll push consumer-grade hardware within a year, 2 tops. If you're talking about it hitting adoption levels of iPhones, you're right. If you're talking adoption greater than VR, I'd put it much sooner, especially since this has greater industry applications.

VC's are also investing heavily in AR while VR investments are diminishing.

For anyone who doesn't know them, The Yes Men have basically spent decades dealing in extremely high-level schadenfreude. This includes an interview on the BBC where one of them pretended to be a spokesman for Dow Chemical, apologizing for Bhopal and promising to liquidate Union Carbide and use the proceeds to attempt to ameliorate some of the damage. Dow's stock lost $2 billion in market valuation that day.

This is probably STDH. If this is an AR-15, the recoil works by borrowing some gas from the bullet being pushed out of the barrel to cycle to the next round. Like so:



So with a blank, there is no bullet traveling out of the barrel to create pressure. You have to put a blank adapter at the front to force the gas through the gas tube, or you'll end up manually ejecting, cocking and loading each round. So either she doesn't notice the blank adapter at the front of the rifle, or this is fake.
