Naturally Vision Pro has its pluses, but it isn't like it is trailing unknown paths.
Out of curiosity I was checking on the status of HoloLens:
> Microsoft has confirmed it will stop manufacturing the HoloLens 2 at the end of 2027.
It would be funny if AR turns out to be another (iOS/Android) platform that MS misses out on. But with Meta moving so slowly and Apple also giving up, there's plenty of time to change their mind again.
Meta has a new AR thing.. it was in the news recently.
