Microsoft confirms it’s getting out of HoloLens hardware entirely.


Microsoft discontinued the HoloLens 2, and is handing off the Army’s version to Anduril, but is it done done with HoloLens hardware? No other products? I asked the company just in case. Microsoft mixed reality CVP Robin Seiler: > We are transitioning away from hardware development but will continue to provide support for HoloLens2 hardware and software through 2027, as announced in October. We remain committed to the IVAS program and will shift our focus to cloud and AI technologies, which will serve as the foundation for IVAS as a situational awareness platform. Stick a fork in it.
