HP''s Sprout is an 'immersive computing' platform that's the first product to emerge from the company's Blended Reality ecosystem, which will in due course also include MultiJet Fusion 3D printers.
The Sprout comprises four main elements: an all-in-one Windows 8.1 PC with a 23-inch 1080p touchscreen; a rear-mounted Sprout Illuminator scanning/DLP projection system; a capacitive 20-point Touch Mat that displays a 20-inch Illuminator-projected touchscreen; and an HP Workspace platform that integrates with Windows 8.1 and enables dual-screen collaborative content creation, editing and consumption.
The Sprout has been available in the US since November 2014 at $1,899.99. It can now be preordered in the UK from HP's online store and certain retail locations, and will be on sale in select Dixons and John Lewis stores from 26 February. The cost for UK buyers: £1,899 (inc. VAT, or £1,582.50 ex. VAT).
