Meta disputes report it halted work on AR, VR operating system


Building a separate operating system to power its AR and VR-powered devices would reduce Meta’s reliance on mobile operating-system makers such as Google and Apple Inc. — Bloomberg

Meta Platforms Inc said it has no plans to halt the development of a new operating system to run its virtual and augmented reality-powered devices, countering a report earlier in The Information.

“We are not halting or scaling back our operations in building a reality operating system,” a spokesperson said. “The team continues to make progress and we continue to invest in building for future computing platforms like AR glasses and wearable devices to help realise our metaverse vision.”
