Mixed reality coming to challenge virtual reality Microsoft (MSFT) has mostly kept its AR (augmented reality) headset, HoloLens, as a developer product. However, the tech giant is starting to reach out to the masses with a technology that delivers the HoloLens experience and more. However, its moves could rattle Facebook and Sony, who are trying to dominate the VR (virtual reality) market.
Microsoft is taking the MR (mixed reality) experience to the masses. MR sits somewhere between AR and VR in that it cuts you off from the physical world but allows you to interact with digital items like software.
