I wanted to go ahead and develop Hololens apps. After experimenting and seeing a couple AR kickstarters, I figured out a way to develop comparable hardware... at least for prototyping. The HMD costs ~$10 and it projects any mobile phone image enlarged at 16" from the eye (even though it doesn't look it in the video). 3d print files on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:721498 for now. Detailed instructions will follow my pending integration of either Leap Motion, Kinect, generic depth sensor, or generic tracking, to more completely emulate Hololens... including virtual object occlusion.
