From Nasdaq:



Microsoft has decided to discontinue the “mixed reality” feature for Windows, which allowed users to access augmented and virtual reality technologies on their personal computers. This feature was launched in a 2017 Windows 10 update, but Microsoft has now announced that it will be removed in a future release of Windows. The company uses the term “mixed reality” to describe software that combines both augmented and virtual reality. This decision comes after the company reportedly scrapped plans for HoloLens 3, which could indicate the end of the augmented reality headset line. This move by Microsoft raises questions about its mixed reality strategy and potential rivalries in the industry. This decision will impact users who have been utilizing the mixed reality feature on their Windows devices.
