Microsoft clarified HoloLens 3
The first official announcement was made by Microsoft after a report published earlier this week revealed that the HoloLens 3 may have been canceled. The company said that the HoloLens is great and that the program continues to work without any problems.
Even though the news before the company’s announcement said that Microsoft has shelved its HoloLens 3 plans in recent months and that this may be the end of the road for the headsets, some leaks shared later actually suggest a partnership with Samsung in the VR space, and that’s not the case. proved that it was not negative.
However, Microsoft has signed a contract to manufacture HoloLens headsets for the US Army, with a 10-year budget of up to $21.88 billion. This developed system is expected to use augmented reality and machine learning to provide a mixed reality training environment. But the company is said to be well behind schedule.
In addition, Microsoft employees are said to have grouped on two different views due to this issue. Some of the employees argue that the company should continue to manufacture the hardware. Others think that the focus should be on software and the Metadatabase.
A senior Microsoft employee named Alex Kipman responded to the comments on social media with the following words:
Don’t believe what you read on the internet. HoloLens is doing great. If you search the internet about the subject in question, they also said that we canceled the HoloLens 2 at the time. Last time I checked, we had successfully completed this project.
