Microsoft is challenging Google in the economical virtual reality title. The company will be unveiling its very own low-cost VR kit for smartphone owners.

Coming out of Microsoft Russia, there are claims that a new virtual reality kit extraordinarily alike to the Google Cardboard is being delivered to designers at a hackathon well ahead this month and deceptively it is not connected to in any way to the HoloLens.

The virtual reality kit will be delivered to participants on Oct. 17, and the VR kit functions by putting in a Microsoft Lumia smartphone inside a cardboard frame that to all intentions and resolutions look accurately the same as Google's design that will save the Microsoft labeling.

Microsoft desires the developers to use the VR kit to construct applications in one of three different types, which are education, games, and corporate. It will then give a prize to the best one in each segment, and the crew behind it will get a virtual reality kit to carry on in evolving it.

Despite the fact the two are deceptively not associated, a cardboard VR kit is likely part of Microsoft's broader strategy to lob sizeable weight behind the wearable HoloLens headset, which was initially publicized in 2015 and is anticipated to work out at some point during Windows 10 operating system's life expectancy.

Time will tell if Microsoft's Cardboard VR kit takes a parallel path to Google's variety, where the project was on the rampage publicly for free to give each and every one to experience virtual reality.

Microsoft is the one corporation that can account consoles and amenities more commendably than Google. It belittles its rivals in terms of magnitude, incomes, and revenues. Productivity is one of Microsoft's strong points. A concentration on consoles and production services for the cloud and mobile makes new tactics extraordinarily convincing.
