| Submission | Text | 'The VR headset OS cold war' |
| Links | List of String, delimiter: , | - while Microsoft's Hololens runs on Windows • and the recently introduced Apple's Vision Pro runs on visionOS • both proprietary OS's • in 2022 Meta's Oculus abandoned XROS in favor of forking Android's Open Source Project (AOSP) for it's Quest headsets. In 2023 Google announced a deal with Samsung • for which it was building its own AOSP fork - Android XR. Meta declined Google's offer to 'contribute' • as that would have them playing second fiddle. Meta has a good library of established 3D content • which could enhance Android XR's takeup. Meanwhile • Google has declined to make Google Play's 2D library available for Quest. Meta recently announced a deal with LG. Thus the stage is set for an old fashioned 3 way OS war between Meta • Google and Apple. Apple • notably • is yet to implement the OpenXR API standard. https://www.uploadvr.com/meta-rejected-google-android-xr-partnership-request/ |
