 |  Facebook gives up on VR and AR OS Will lean on Google Facebook parent company Meta has stopped development of a new software operating system to power its virtual reality devices and upcoming augmented reality glasses. The project has been underway for several years and involved hundreds of employees and was part of a cunning plan for Facebook to own the underlying software behind its Oculus VR headset and future augmented or mixed reality devices. The screens of its planned devices aim to overlay digital images on the real world or weave real-world objects into VR apps. Meta uses an open-source version of Google's Android operating system to power Meta's existing Oculus Quest VR devices. But Meta wanted to create an OS from scratch to power them and future devices, a project that became known internally as XROS. https://fudzilla.com/news/ai/54159-f...n-vr-and-ar-os |
