HP is readying its next-generation Windows Mixed Reality headset, codenamed ‘Copper’. The device will sport a design similar to the Oculus Rift and come with higher resolution 2160×2160 displays.
Microsoft showed off the first consumer Windows Mixed Reality head-mounted displays (HMDs) from partners such as Acer, Dell, HP, and Lenovo back in October 2017 at an event in San Francisco. The devices launched alongside the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, with prices beginning at $299. The HMDs came with different designs, but similar specifications such as a 1440X1440 resolution display, and framerates of 60fps for PCs with integrated graphics and 90fps for systems with discrete graphics.
While not much in the way of a refresh to many of these devices happened, Samsung launched its second-generation HMD, the Odyssey+ in October 2018, with improvements to specifications and the design of the device. Soon, another new headset may be on the way, as HP is also readying it next-generation HMD, as per the folks at RoadtoVR who got an exclusive preview of the unannounced Windows Mixed Reality headset, codenamed ‘Copper’.
