Microsoft CEO: HoloLens V1 Will Debut for Devs in 2016, See 5 Year "Evolution"

From DailyTech: Alongside the launch of Windows 10 last Wednesday, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella gave an interview to BBC News. The discussion wandered over several topics, but towards the end it touched on the HoloLens, a Windows 10-powered augmented reality prototype which Microsoft demoed several times earlier this year.

Asked to give a hard estimate of "When is it it coming?", Nadella obliged. He stated:

"We will have developer versions of it first, and then it will be more commercial use cases, and it will evolve. This is a five year journey. It's the beginning. Even the smartphone journey with touch was a 7 year, 8 year journey. And that's how you should think of any of these fundamental changes.

But we're looking forward to getting the V1 out, which more around developers and enterprises. And it is in the Windows 10 timeframe, which means it's in the next year."
