This has sailed under the radar;

http://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-announces-a-vr-headset-for-299/

Only found this by fluke. I usually dismiss these type of articles but the Microsoft headset will be cheaper than PSVR and its contemporaries and wont require cameras. Is this good news for VR?

I imagine it's not doing 3D tracking if it's got no cameras, meaning that it's more comparable with GearVR than the PlayStation VR and VIVE.

@get2sammyb: Yup no tracking the headset is set up entirely with gyroscopes. Still interesting to see MS get involved.

It looks like something from the 80s...
