US-based technology giant Meta<\/strong> has officially announced the cancellation<\/strong> of its project codenamed “XROS,”<\/strong> which aimed to develop a new operating system<\/strong> from scratch for augmented reality (AR)<\/strong> and virtual reality (VR) devices<\/strong>, including Meta’s Quest<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the XROS team<\/strong>, consisting of over 300 employees<\/strong>, will be disbanded<\/strong>, and these individuals will be reassigned<\/strong> to other departments within Meta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company<\/strong> clarified that it will continue using the Android operating system<\/strong>, developed by Google<\/strong>, for its AR<\/strong> and VR devices<\/strong>. Meta<\/strong> had intended for the XROS project<\/strong> to create an operating system<\/strong> that could power its upcoming augmented reality glasses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the decision to discontinue<\/strong> the project signals a strategic shift<\/strong> in favor of leveraging the existing Android platform<\/strong> for faster product development<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s noteworthy that Meta<\/strong> has been utilizing the Android operating system<\/strong> in its augmented reality<\/strong> and virtual reality devices<\/strong> since their launch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move aligns with the company’s goal<\/strong> of streamlining<\/strong> its operations<\/strong> and focusing on more efficient strategies<\/strong> in the rapidly evolving metaverse landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta Shelved Project “XROS”: No Development of Operating System<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Apple<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, a major competitor<\/strong> to Meta<\/a><\/em><\/strong> in the market<\/strong>, has recently been in the spotlight with reports of developing an operating system<\/strong> for its augmented reality (AR) devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The open-source codes<\/strong> discovered on GitHub<\/strong> and references<\/strong> in the App Store<\/strong> suggest that the operating system<\/strong> for Apple’s AR<\/strong> and virtual reality (VR) glasses<\/strong> is named ‘RealityOS.’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These details<\/strong> were uncovered by software developers<\/strong>, and it has been suggested that Apple<\/strong> may offer early access<\/strong> to its proprietary operating system<\/strong> to developers<\/strong> in the near future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move<\/strong> indicates Apple’s commitment<\/strong> to advancing its capabilities<\/strong> in the AR<\/strong> and VR space<\/strong>, aligning with the broader trend<\/strong> of tech companies<\/strong> investing in metaverse-related technologies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
