Microsoft's Phil Spencer recently said that while he may be a fan of virtual reality (VR) gaming, he hopes that it will not totally take over the use of conventional gaming consoles. That being said, it doesn't also mean that Microsoft is totally against VR gaming. In fact their recently developed Hololens will soon be experienced.

According to TechRadar, the Hololens developer kit will be available early next year but with a price that may make you cringe. Consumers have to splurge a staggering amount of $3,000 to take home the said device.

In order to validate the gadget's price, a video demo was also introduced showing a player wearing a holographic arm cannon to drive away robot enemies.

The demo, dubbed as "Project X-Ray," showed how intense the game would look like wearing the Hololens. At one point during the demo, the player was able to pull towards him the robot before using extra force to blast him against the wall. 

The Verge, on the other hand, thinks that while the whole concept of the Hololens is good and exciting, they pretty much implied that the practicality of the said wearable device is negatively acceptable.

"Imagine killing time with this in the doctor's office" reports the Verge. Basically, the Hololens will let a player shoot virtual scorpions and robots against a bare wall, and while it may be interesting the first time, it might cease its novelty at a very short period of time.

Base only on the GIF showed, The Verge noted that it may not convince them to buy the whole thing for now, even if it starts introducing an extended version of the game. The Hololens will be available next year, but only for developers within the U.S. and Canada. The two regions will get a firsthand look at the device since they are the two regions that received its Development Edition.

If you're a Windows Insider, you can also avail up to two Hololens units. However, you will still need to pay the $3,000 cash out.

Gone are the days when you have to position yourself using an improvised hand device to take on a scene, Microsoft's Hololens is actually putting things into perspective and providing real-life wearable devices. But the question remains on the price and how it will actually compensate its high-market value.
