UPDATE 2/9: Added an important known issue for Dev Drive users. Please see the known issues below.
Hello Windows Insiders, today we are releasing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26052 to the Canary
Windows MR and HP Reverb VR headsets to lose all functionality in Windows 11 24H2, so don’t update if you use those headsets.
I find it despicable that support for working hardware can be just abandoned after only a few years, and at least a basic driver should be released (ideally open source) if not the full WMR package, which few cared about anyway.
I’m hoping that Monado takes off at least as I only used Windows begrudgingly anyway.
Im not seeing the immersive tech go anywhere any time soon. Microsoft tried it, google tried it, a shit ton of other small businesses tried it. Its not going to go where these businesses live. Id like to be proven wrong but it feel like its just not. We miss the kill app and if it existed with current tech, it wouldve been made already.
I think its best to lay current MR/AR/spacial computing to rest and wait a few years like what happened with 3d/vr in the past 40 years :)
I’d imagine apple has more power to give vr/ar cultural relevance than Google or MS. Apple fans are in their own extremely expensive league, and I’m sure there will be premium VR apps developed now. Even the quest 3 seems to be starting to get better software now, come to think of it.
