The world has watched not one, but two mixed-reality experiments play out over the past few years. First, there was the Microsoft HoloLens 2, which has now announced its discontinuation in 2024. Then the Apple Vision Pro arrived to much fanfare but also reports that its developers have gone back to the drawing board. Both reflect the struggle that mixed reality tech will face if they want to find widespread adoption.

Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed reality device often seems to be overlooked in discussions of VR, as it isn't really a consumer-facing device right now. It costs around $3000 for developer edition and $5000 for commercial edition.

In this post, we are going to discuss about the future of Microsoft HoloLens and its uses, as it is now a most interesting topic.
