Microsoft loses HoloLens team members to Meta and rival metaverse companies

In Microsoft'due south case, information technology has a squad dedicated to HoloLens that measures roughly one,500 people large. Nevertheless, that team has been shrinking, according to a written report by the Wall Street Periodical. Approximately 100 people have abandoned the home of HoloLens, with over 40 transitioning to work at Meta.

This comes at a time when Microsoft not only has its commercial-facing HoloLens endeavors to worry nigh, simply also the IVAS project for the U.S. Ground forces. That project recently saw a delay.

According to the WSJ report, former employees said Microsoft hadn't hired enough engineers to keep upward with the strain IVAS is putting on visitor resources. And further employee departures won't help matters, either.

Apple's squad members are too cited every bit part of the defector wave, with former Apple tree employees joining Meta. Meta did not comment to WSJ about its recruiting practices.

With all that being said, at least publicly speaking, Microsoft has made it clear the metaverse is a focus. Meta snapping up Redmond's employees may, to some, propose that ane company values the world of augmented reality more and is willing to do more to ensure in that location'due south manpower behind it, just based on the publicly available data, both companies accept their hands full with AR ambitions.
