This is how a Microsoft designer's "Copilot Veja" concept reimagines HoloLens without glasses — but the ergonomics are still a pain

Last year, Microsoft announced it was discontinuing the production of its HoloLens 2 headsets, without outlining any plans for a future replacement. However, the tech giant will at least support the devices with security updates through December 31, 2027.

HoloLens is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the heaps of products and services that Microsoft sent to its graveyard before they reached their prime. It's the same premise that billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently referenced when he suggested he would simulate his own version of Microsoft using AI, calling it "Macrohard," implying that Microsoft is purely a software company that doesn't truly engage in the hardware space.
