Microsoft is working on its own version of Google Cardboard called the Microsoft VR Kit

Virtual Reality is the next big frontier that tech companies are aiming at conquering, and it looks like Microsoft is really putting in the hard yards to make it happen. While Microsoft already has the HoloLens project going in the background, it looks like the tech giant is also working on something more for the average Joe – the Microsoft VR Kit. Still unannounced, the website for the Microsoft VR Kit has since been taken down, but appeared to depict a VR headset not unlike the Google Cardboard in terms of its low cost construction.

While it appears that the Microsoft VR Kit will initially be for Windows 10 devices, with Microsoft’s push into Android software, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Microsoft appropriate the VR Kit to eventually work with Android devices too. This would actually be amazing for the Android VR space as Microsoft would really give Google a run for its money and we’d all benefit from them trying to out do one another. Naturally, all we can do is wait and see whether this is how it all turns out, but we have our fingers crossed.
