This is another version of VR, but instead It's AR (augmented reality). This means that means that instead of placing you in a scene or situation, it changes your view by adding virtual assets to you existing vision. Problems I foresee happening with this headset include lack of development for the software and device itself, and once again the price. The one difference this has over the VR alternatives is that it seems to be for a more professional use, normally on a professional level price is less of a concern as people are willing to spend more on a professional grade product.
