After inquiring about their pilot program, it appears they'll unveil the SDK to normal developers at Build 2015.

Huh, I wonder if people can buy into dev kits OR style. Really interesting to see what people come up with.

Probably not, I'd imagine. I'm trying to raise money to go to build but it's like $4000... thinking maybe a gofundme page but I always feel iffy about stuff like that. I have a feeling keeping in the developer loop with Microsoft is how you get a hololens sdk.

Yeah, I get the feeling you have to stick tight to them to s anything this soon.

Didn't it sell out within the first hour?

Hmm, I wonder if they offer any student passes for Build. I would love to go.

Edit: just looked, it's $1000 for students but sold out. God dammit.

$1000 is almost cheap, everything considered... of course it's the price for students, but I suppose they're getting a price on software more than hardware.

Also I don't know if it has been mentioned already, but several silicon valley CEOs were asked about their opinion on Hololens.

Can't wait for Build in April to see more about Hololens. Hopefully some nuggets get shared a GDC before then.
