• TikTok owner ByteDance is reportedly building a mixed-reality headset. That would put it in competition with Meta and Apple. It’s unclear whether the headset will be released in the U.S. and, if so, when or what it would cost.

The market for mixed-reality headsets has been decidedly, well, mixed so far, but ByteDance seemingly thinks there’s room for growth.
