Meta has canceled its plans for a long-rumored mixed-reality headset that was intended to compete with the Apple Vision Pro,. The company told employees at Reality Labs to stop working on the device after a product review meeting attended by CEO Mark Zuckerberg , as cited by Meta staffers.
Reporting indicates that a major sticking point was cost. The team wanted to get the device under $1,000, but those micro OLED panels don’t come cheap. The Vision Pro, after all, is $3,500. The company is, however, shifting its strategy a little bit. Beyond canceling the aforementioned headset, Meta’s been trying to license its XR software to third-party hardware makers. The platform, which is called Horizon OS, might be licensed to Indian tech giant Jio
