Samsung & Microsoft Collaborating on AR/MR with Hololens?

What They Say

An article in The Elec said that Samsung Electronics is working with Microsoft on a project related to the Hololens display system. The project is reported to involve Samsung Display, Electro-Mechanics, and SDI and is likely to be shown in 2023 after the two year project which started in the summer of 2021.

The report referenced the Samsung investment in DigiLens, but didn’t explicitly say that the collaboration uses the firm’s waveguide technology, although it suggests that Samsung “will also likely make the waveguide module”.

The article quoted data from TrendForce that Microsoft will sell 200K HoloLens 2 headsets this year.

What We Think

A combination of Samsung and Microsoft, if it gets the best out of both, could produce a headset that should be able to properly compete with a new Apple headset. (BR)
