From the stage at Microsoft Build, HoloLens chief Alex Kipman delivered the news that HoloLens developer kits are shipping today.
The device costs $3,000, and they’re available only to Windows Insiders in the U.S. and Canada (for now). The first wave is heading out today, and Microsoft said that it will continue to offer invites to applicants as more devices are available.
Kipman also announced that an app for HoloLens called Galaxy Explorer is coming to the Windows Store, with code available for free on GitHub. Simply put, Galaxy Explorer lets you virtually explore the Milky Way. You can navigate, “land” on a planet, zoom in or out, and more.
