Microsoft officials said that they will provide developers with a full set of development kits so that they can use them to develop applications. The person in charge of Hololens R&D emphasized that Hololens is the only device on the market that can provide natural holographic computing without external cameras, cables, mobile phones, or connection to a PC.

Regarding the question of when the consumer version will arrive, Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive vice president of Windows, said that as the developer version of HoloLens begins to ship, only with the participation of developers in its construction can HoloLens eventually reach consumers.

When asked whether Microsoft might release a cheaper version of Hololens, Myerson said it was not possible this year and he could not answer the question of what would happen in the future. "Compared with VR products from other manufacturers, Hololens is a completely different device. It is a computing device that can bring holographic images and can also be seen as a superposition device of VR and AR. Such a product is indeed more expensive in the early stage."
