The collaboration between Microsoft and Samsung is now over. Some months ago, some important magazines leaked that Microsoft might have abandoned the HoloLens project. According to a new leak, Microsoft scrapped the plans for a HoloLens 3, and also the collaboration with Samsung has been brought to an end. Other relevant news.
So much so that SK hynix this week is very publicly announcing that the company's high-bandwidth memory (HBM) production capacity has already sold out for the rest of 2024, and even most of 2025 has already sold out as well. By contrast, Micron's share on HBM memory market is between 4% and 6%.
Many major tech organizations such as Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are currently working on different types of smart glasses or headsets which are more affordable and widely available to consumers, which will eventually change how we view and interact with the world around us.
Or maybe “relaxed” is not the right word to use, considering the little drama on Microsoft’s headsets. Top news of the week (Image by HP) Microsoft officially drops support for its Mixed Reality headsets Microsoft has just released the infamous Windows 11, version 24H2 update. I think this speaks a lot.
According to CBINSIGHTS , tech giants like Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Apple (FAMGA) have all been acquiring AI startups aggressively in the last decade. billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 63.01% between 2019 and 2025. billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 63.01% between 2019 and 2025.

An Amazon ad appearing on the streaming platform Peacock shows the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S and the caption: “Meta Quest, starting at $299.99”. Regarding the actual release date, we have also a rumor: someone spotted on the Australian Amazon page an entry about the Quest 3S and the availability date being October, 16.
Another leak regarded the release date: an Amazon listing put the availability date of the Quest 3 starting from October, 10th. Development is taking its time, and no glass based on Micro XR is expected to hit the market before 2025. Samsung can be the first partner also on this line of products.
This headset should go into production in the second half of 2025, so realistically be available in 2026. Apple claims the M4 has a 50% more powerful CPU an d 4 times more powerful GPU than the M2 chipset mounted on the Vision Pro, so an M5 chipset may give the new Vision Pro unprecedented performances for a standalone MR headset.
The reason is that the newest Microsoft laptops feature a neural processing unit (NPU) that improves processing power and battery efficiency when running AR experiences.

Or better, I can imagine who can be the names and they are all the big monoliths: Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon , etc… Only companies of this size could afford selling a good headset under cost and at the same time attract enough developers to publish VR games on their own new stores. OpenXR will finally be implemented.
Waiting until now would mean that next VR game by Valve would come out in 2024–2025… do you really think they don’t want to make the ecosystem to grow now? The same day of the launch of Half-Life: Alyx, Hewlett-Packard has announced its new virtual reality headset, the Reverb G2 , made in collaboration with Microsoft and Valve.
Because of these problems and the delays, a cheaper version of the Vision Pro, which was expected for 2025, may have been canceled.

To replace the device in current markets, Apple aims to release a mixed reality (MR) headset at a cheaper price from 2024 to 2025. Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Snap, Amazon, Twitter, and other major tech giants have not been immune to mass layoffs and budget cutbacks. Its cheaper iteration will cost users $1,500, the report added.
Google’s layoffs come just days after Microsoft and Amazon announced cutbacks of roughly 10,000 employees. Microsoft is also getting in on Chat GPT, purchasing most of its parent firm Open AI. Reports indicate that Microsoft will integrate ChatGPT into its umbrella of applications via Azure AI.
These include Oracle Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Additionally, it hopes to create over 40,000 jobs and boost the city’s economy by $4 billion USD annually over five year’s time, or up to 2025.
Rapidus itself projects that it will need approximately $35 billion to initiate pilot 2nm chip production in 2025, and then bring that to high-volume manufacturing in 2027. But in addition to developing a viable 2nm fabrication process, Rapidus will also have to build a modern semiconductor fabrication facility, which is an expensive venture.
2025 is just around the corner, meaning that news headlines will quickly fill with CES announcements. Additionally, reports suggest that Samsung aims to debut the headset in 2025, as an outlook header indicates. If 2024 was any example, some major news is around the corner.
Arrives in 2022, with glasses to follow sometime before 2025). When I worked at Microsoft I got in trouble with the lawyers over patents so they made me sleep with a lawyer (true story, that was my punishment). Just get Amazon’s latest iPhone app. A new kind of programmatic surround sound (Spatial Audio is just the start).

Major Firms Enter the XR Market During a launch event at MWC 2024, Samsung showcased a new XR headset developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm.
It isn’t alone, we know of many companies that are spending billions on same, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Sony, Magic Leap, Huawei, and others. You can see this in today’s AR products (and despite what Microsoft or Magic Leap call their devices, they really are augmented reality devices that you wear on your face).
Microsoft’s got a great product around it. If Google is all-in on AR, Apple’s all-in, Amazon, Facebook, Walmart — like, every major company in the world gets it. So, forecast out to 2025: we’re looking at… call it half a billion [dollars] created. He worked for Microsoft last year.

That’s why we rejoiced when Apple launched its headset: while Google and Microsoft can discard new technologies pretty easily, Apple is slower at deciding to take a step, but when it makes it, it commits to it. This is a huge sign of commitment towards mixed reality. A Creator Platform for next-gen to ‘Socialize.’
As I go to these different developer conferences, I go to Facebook F8, or Microsoft Build, or Google IO. And then there’s Amazon, they have Sumerian. And I tend put it around like 2025 is when I feel that’s gonna be sort of a critical mass when all of these things are just gonna be completely all over the place.

If developers of PC games want to invest more time to create a VR version of them (like it happened for No Man’s Sky, or Microsoft Flight Simulator, for instance), this could help a lot the PCVR market. If this happens, PCVR people can have great titles to play again; Hybrid games. I think it will be anyway a tough year for PC VR.
