Competition is generally a good thing for consumers. While some manage to make some sign exclusive contracts for most, if competing hardware standards is clearly great news for consumers willing to buy a technological object. So while we are excited by the spectacle HoloLens Microsoft, it's nice to see another company entering combat to change our reality.

This company is not left out either, since ASUS is the technology industry for many years, with the production of motherboards, tablets, graphic cards. Today, it seems that ASUS will introduce in augmented reality helmets.
Although the details are a bit thin at the moment, the CEO of Asus, Jerry Shen, mentioned in a conversation with Cnet, he expected that the helmet would be available to consumers at some point in 2016, and augmented reality he sees as "very important to people's lives".
Indeed, while the virtual reality has taken place in the technological reality by changing the era of gamers, and consumers in general, Microsoft has attracted all eyes when it showed its technology HoloLens. His ability to merge the real world with the digital has enormous potential, offering instructional videos which superimpose elements of the real world.
HoloLens cheaper than Microsoft?
The President of ASUS, Jonney Shih also said that his company was in talks with Microsoft last year about producing a lower-cost version of HoloLens - which should cost at around 3000 dollars. But the discussion was abandoned. Nevertheless, it is likely that ASUS uses Microsoft's work on his own helmet, while targeting those less fortunate.
While this is no doubt that this is a good thing, as this will allow ASUS to target a different sector of the market to Microsoft, the impressions left by the HoloLens headphones are not all positive, and that great improvements have yet be made to the field of view and image quality.
Is a lower cost alternative can actually do not degrade these key areas?
