Microsoft Announces Layoffs but Continues HoloLens 2 Sales

Microsoft has confirmed layoffs in its mixed reality division but will continue selling the HoloLens 2 headset. Despite the cuts, the company remains committed to the Department of Defense's IVAS program and will keep investing in the broader mixed reality hardware ecosystem. The layoffs follow a previous round that affected 10,000 employees and included changes to Microsoft's hardware lineup. The company has not announced a new model for the HoloLens, and its focus has shifted towards commercializing artificial intelligence.
