Microsoft's HoloLens 2's discontinuation signals a significant setback for its mixed reality aspirations, now focusing primarily on industrial, military, and business applications instead.
Despite abandoning its mixed reality platform, Microsoft is trying to leverage its technology through a Mixed Reality Link app that allows Meta Quest 3 users to connect to Windows 11.
The Mixed Reality Link app enables Quest 3 users to create a virtual desktop experience with multiple hi-res monitors, but it represents a diluted version of Microsoft's original vision.
Microsoft's pivot towards partnering with Meta highlights a shift to integration with existing products rather than developing a competitive mixed reality platform of its own.
