Microsoft will still continue its HoloLens work with the US Army.

Production is ending on the HoloLens 2 headset, with no sign of a replacement. In totally unrelated news, MSFT stock dropped 2.23% in a day, bringing the weekly average down to 1.63%, with an asking price at $420.69 after close.

Microsoft has now teamed up with Anduril Industries, the military tech company started by Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey, to improve its IVAS mixed reality headsets used by the US Army. Microsoft’s initial IVAS headset, based on HoloLens technology, first went into trials in 2021 and includes integrated thermal and night vision imaging sensors in a heads-up display.

    Yeah, good news though- they will likely continue to develop a military version to ensure our best tech continues to contribute to efficient killing. Also they will redirect some of the the hololens resources to further AI development bullshit.
