They got a hololens, but like 8 years later, for the same price, and still just as useless.

try a thousand more than the horrorlens lol. Our hololens 1 and 2 devkits were $2400 iirc.

Same thing that will happen to the Vision Pro. They stalled but eventually made a second version and had horrible production issues. After the second version was out a couple years they quit, laying off the whole team.

The technology wasn't really there yet. The AR view was too small and the headset too big.

It was also just marketed to business, so other than it being the new fad it didn't really take off.

I was so excited when they announced that and showed Minecraft just hanging out in the living room.

I wouldn’t have used it long.
