Microsoft publishes the requirements of its virtual reality glasses

Microsoft is working on the development of virtual reality glasses for its Windows 10 operating system, glasses that go one step beyond the HoloLens augmented reality equipment. Finally, those of Redmond have already published the hardware requirements, to be able to make use of their virtual reality system for Windows 10, some requirements that are surprising for being lower than what could be expected and other equipment such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

This you are going to need for Microsoft virtual reality glasses

Microsoft's new virtual reality glasses for Windows 10 require a Windows 10 computer, 4 GB of RAM, a USB 3.0 port, a quad-core processor, and a DirectX 12- compatible graphics card. This would be enough with an Intel Core i3 CPU, it could be due to the use of DirectX 12 that allows exploiting system resources in a much more efficient way and downloading work to the processor. Of course, it remains to be seen how these components will really go, since theory and practice do not always correspond.

If it is confirmed that with these specifications it is possible to use virtual reality we would be talking about what equipment with a cost of about 400-500 euros would be suitable for the new Microsoft glasses. Those of Redmond will give more details of their glasses at an event in December.
