This is the best summary I could come up with:
The company says Windows Mixed Reality is “deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Windows.” Microsoft first introduced Windows Mixed Reality in 2017 as part of its bid to compete with virtual reality rivals like HTC and Oculus (now owned by Meta).
Windows Mixed Reality served as a portal to games, apps, and other experiences within the VR space.
In addition to the Microsoft HoloLens, other companies, including Acer, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, HP, and Samsung, made mixed reality headsets compatible with Microsoft’s platform.
It doesn’t look like the enterprise-focused HoloLens 2 is going anywhere for now, though, as Microsoft added a free Windows 11 upgrade and several other improvements for the $3,500 headset earlier this year.
HoloLens boss Alex Kipman left last year over allegations of sexual misconduct, and the company later cut 10,000 jobs, many of which affected the workers behind Microsoft’s mixed reality projects, including the now-discontinued AltspaceVR app.
It also started letting Quest users access Office apps and its Xbox Cloud Gaming platform through a partnership with Meta.
The original article contains 248 words, the summary contains 174 words. Saved 30%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I have a Samsung Odyessy+ and it works…ok. I’m on Win 10 still, so should still work for a few more years I reckon. 90% of the time I just use BigSceen for movies. Not a huge loss for me, plus the thing is like 4 years old!
What is reality when we fail to recognize ourselves? Before we dive into mixture, turn down the selflessness and reach for new beginnings.
