As Microsoft previously announced, Windows Mixed Reality head-mounted displays are now available for purchase from the Windows Store, with headsets from Acer, Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

At an event in San Francisco today, Microsoft announced that Windows Mixed Reality head-mounted displays made by Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung are now available for customers to pre-order.

During its IFA 2017 briefing today, Microsoft said that the Fall Creators Update will be available on October 17, and to coincide with that, so will Windows Mixed Reality headsets.

At Lenovo's press briefing at IFA 2017 today, the company finally announced its Windows Mixed Reality head-mounted display, calling it the Explorer. It goes on sale this October, starting at $349.

As Microsoft slowly works on build parity and compatibility between its various OS ventures, an inquisitive user has now found a way to access the hidden UWP version of file explorer on the desktop.

Microsoft has released a new patch that fixes a problem with the installation of an older patch that fixed issues with explorer.exe in Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9879.

Google Glass has officially arrived in the United Kingdom, and the price for wannabe 'Explorers' there will be £1000. Its UK launch is accompanied by a range of new apps for the wearable device.

It's not hard to gauge that people are split on the issue of Google Glass, while some think it's the best thing since sliced bread, others think it's intrusive and makes you look like a total douche.

Google has just announced that the Explorer Edition of their Google Glass wearable computer will be available for purchase to anyone in the United States, for the low low price of $1,500.

Eric Schmidt dropped a hint during an interview with BBC Radio 4 that Google Glass will most likely be available next year, and for under the $1500 price tag the developers had to fork out.

Google's terms of service reveal you won't be able to sell or lend your precious early specs once they arrive or the company will deactivate them. At $1,500, is it just too much to ask?

Google's hunt for new Explorers with Glass is over. While the contest ran during February, the company has only begun to send out invitations to join the Explorer Program via Google+ today.
