Windows will support VR headsets with different specs for framerate, resolution, and field-of-view

Microsoft is looking to unify manufacturers around using Windows to power mixed reality headsets, with a plan to support HMDs featuring a wide range of specifications.

Next year, Microsoft plans to support headsets from manufacturers like Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP and Lenovo starting at just $300, and by the end of the year the tech giant plans for “the base minimum hardware requirements for holiday 2017 systems” to start with an “Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 (GT2) equivalent or greater DX12 API Capable GPU.”
