Microsoft has sent Neowin a statement, saying it will continue to work on the HoloLens-based US Army mixed reality headset even after the end of Windows Mixed Reality platform development.
Earlier today, we reported that Microsoft had quietly deprecated its Windows Mixed Reality platform and will remove it from a future Windows update. The move put into question Microsoft’s previously announced plans to work with the US Army on a HoloLens-based headset labeled IVAS (Integrated Visual Augmentation System).
A recent test of 20 of these IVAS headsets was deemed a success by the Army, meaning the next phase of its evaluation would begin. However, with the deprecation of Windows Mixed Reality, we wondered what this meant for the future of IVAS.
