Windows 10 is getting mixed reality support next month

Back in October Microsoft unveiled a bold new vision for its Windows 10 operating system named the Creator’s Update, and mixed reality technology played a big part in it. Now, that revamp has finally been dated.

Microsoft will begin rolling out the latest iteration of its operating system April 11, and the company confirmed to UploadVR that mixed reality (MR) support will be included. It will be free for all Windows 10 owners. For consumers, that won’t mean much right now. The first devices to support Windows’ take on MR, a set of VR headsets made by partners like Acer, won’t be launching until this holiday season.
