Acer and HP have already unveiled their own Mixed Reality headsets, which are priced at $299 (approx Rs 19,600) and $329 (approx Rs 21,600) respectively. The Acer headset bundle with the controllers is priced at $400 (approx Rs 26,000). Unlike the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, Acer and HP’s headsets use LCD displays as opposed to OLED. Both these headsets offer a refresh rate of 90Hz.
