HTC Vive Pro is (oddly) the best Windows Mixed Reality headset you can buy

Microsoft needs to do more than "invent" Windows Mixed Reality, it needs to lead.

While receiving quite a bit of mockery for the branding, Microsoft's vision for Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) as a spectrum of experiences is compelling. And for a little while there, it felt like Microsoft was going to lead the charge on demonstrating this spectrum, with WMR headsets on the far side of the VR end and HoloLens on the far side of the AR end.

Microsoft has spoken on several occasions about devices existing in the middle, capable of both VR and augmented reality (AR) experiences, but if you're looking for those experiences today, it isn't Microsoft you should look to.

Instead, the HTC Vive Pro seems to be the first major headset aiming to offer both AR and VR in the same headset.
