Microsoft HoloLens: FIRST Robotics Simulator

Given speculation of what the price will be at launch time ($500+) is this really a viable option for teams? You would need at least 2 to make it really useful. 2 drivers (add in a coach and HP if you want) or analyzing the field/ field components (need at least one person to bounce ideas and examine the field with you).

2016 game confirmed. Each team has one hp that they can give to one of their drive team members. The entire driver station will be black and drivers can only see the field on a HUD which may I add only shows robot position. and only the person with the holo lens can see the gamepieces.

The dev kits that will be available early next year are priced at $3,000 which is probably a reasonable price given how much processing power is in each of those. They're the equivalent of a high end gaming PC with dual or quad SLI miniaturized to be small enough to fit on your head.

I wasn"t trying to imply that it was overpriced. I actually agree that the price is relatively reasonable. I was more trying to get at the fact that this would not be a viable option for many teams in FIRST.
