Software updates through 31 December 2027, implicitly setting a practical end-of-life date.

Also, last chance to buy an HL2 if you still need one, until supply runs out.

I can’t find a public source on this yet, but expect it will come next week.

Edit: at least one LinkedIn post referencing the same e-mail. And it nicely describes what HoloLens 2 meant when it was introduced:

HoloLens 2 wasn’t just a gadget; it was a game-changer. With its comfy fit, wider field of view, and those cool hand-tracking features, it made everything feel so real. Whether it was helping doctors visualize surgeries, letting engineers design in 3D, or making remote teamwork a breeze, HoloLens 2 was there, making a difference.

And with Magic Leap not exactly doing great either, are we going to see a period in which no see-through devices will be on the market? Perhaps until Meta gets Orion further developed and for sale? Or improved Snap Spectacles?

The western market seems to die down a bit, but the asian countries are still up-and-about with new devices.

Sony and QONOQ recently anounced a new waveguide based device running the Spaces Ecosystem:
MiRZA | 株式会社NTTコノキューデバイス ｜ NTT QONOQ Devices, Inc.

Its unfortunate that the OS is pretty basic at the moment, but looking at the anouncements I expect the Orion-Style-Glasses to trickle onto the prosumer/industry market over the coming year.
