Microsoft has confirmed that it will be officially discontinuing the HoloLens 2. There has been no news from Microsoft on whether or not this discontinuation will have a replacement to follow.
The Microsoft headset was launched back in February 2019 so it’s had a good 5 year run since. The headsets will be receiving security and software regression updates till 2027. However, the production of these headsets has been halted permanently. Furthermore, production for the HoloLens 1 also ended years ago. So the future of the HoloLens series is up in the air. According to reports, Microsoft has ditched plans to continue with the HoloLens 3. All hope for a new HoloLens may not be lost though, as Microsoft has alluded to potential future update plans.
HoloLens 2 is an MR (mixed reality) headset by Microsoft and it is the direct successor of the first Microsoft HoloLens. It made its debut in February 2019 at the Mobile World Congress.
These AR glasses are ergonomic in design with transparent lenses. Users can interact with virtual objects that blend into the real world. The headset is compact and comparatively lighter than the Oculus Quest 2. In fact, the glasses weigh only 19.96 oz. The battery lasts up to 3 hours. Priced at $3,500, these glasses offer eye tracking and users will have to use their hands to manoeuvre around.
These smart glasses come with 64 GB of storage capacity and 4 GB RAM. The holographic display has a resolution of about 2k 3:2 light engines. The density also measures up to >2.5k radiants. Equipped with Snapdragon 850, these glasses are built with a custom Microsoft Holographic processing unit.
