  11. Weekend Reading!

    Someone at META FINALLY has seen the light in the VR tunnel and it is a dead train.

    Meta recently announced starting on June 15, 2026, it will no longer be possible to build, publish or update VR worlds, and Horizon Worlds will not be accessible with VR headsets - the spaces will continue to be be available via the Horizon mobile app only.

    This comes just a few weeks after Meta cut over 1,000 employees from Reality Labs, the unit responsible for the metaverse. cnbc.com/2026/03/18/meta-horiz

    In 2018, I first wrote about how dedicated "VR Worlds" would be a #Fail and would be destined to be highly niche products and NOT be the world changing tech as claimed by proponents.

  12. #Meta is rebranding some employees as “#AIbuilders” and organising them into AI-native “pods” within its #RealityLabs team. This #reorganisation aims to drive a step change in engineering productivity and product quality by adopting a flatter organisational structure. The pods will focus on specific outcomes and work across disciplines. businessinsider.com/metas-real #tech #media #news

  13. #Meta’s #RealityLabs, responsible for the #metaverse and #hardware like the #Quest goggles, has lost over $80 billion. While Meta is still investing in hardware and the metaverse, its focus has shifted towards AI, driven by Mark Zuckerberg’s desire for a platform independent of Google and Apple. businessinsider.com/meta-mark- #tech #media #news

  14. #Meta’s recent layoffs in its #RealityLabs unit, particularly those affecting #VR related initiatives, have sparked concerns about the future of #virtualreality. VR developers worry about the impact on their industry, some remain optimistic about the long-term potential of VR, particularly in the enterprise market. cnbc.com/2026/01/24/metas-real #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds #XR #VR #MR #AR #BeyondPictures

  15. #Meta’s #RealityLabs, responsible for #metaverse development, reported a $6.02 billion loss in Q4, a 21% increase year-over-year. Despite the losses, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg expects them to peak this year as the company shifts focus towards AI and wearable devices. cnbc.com/2026/01/28/metas-real #tech #media #news

  21. #Meta plans to #layoff around 10% of its #RealityLabs team, primarily affecting #metaverse employees, due to a shift in focus towards AI. This comes after reports of a 30% budget cut for the metaverse division and the increasing popularity of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses. theverge.com/news/860984/meta- #Metaverse #VirtualWorlds #XR #VR #MR #AR #BeyondPictures

  22. Kupiłeś gogle do pracy? Meta wyciąga wtyczkę. Koniec Horizon Workrooms

    Miała być rewolucja w pracy zdalnej i biura przyszłości, a jest komunikat o zamknięciu serwerów.

    Meta oficjalnie ogłosiła, że 16 lutego 2026 roku uśmierca Horizon Workrooms. Dla tysięcy użytkowników i firm, które zainwestowały w gogle Quest z myślą o wirtualnych spotkaniach, to kubeł zimnej wody. W pełni sprawny sprzęt z dnia na dzień straci jedną ze swoich kluczowych funkcji biznesowych, bo korporacja Marka Zuckerberga zmienia kurs.

    Sprzęt zostaje, funkcja znika

    Decyzja giganta to podręcznikowy przykład ryzyka, z jakim wiąże się poleganie na usługach w chmurze powiązanych ze sprzętem. Gogle Meta Quest 2, 3 czy drogie modele Pro, które firmy kupowały jako narzędzia do współpracy, technicznie wciąż działają. Jednak bez aplikacji Workrooms stają się w kontekście biurowym znacznie mniej użyteczne.

    Użytkownik, który wydał pieniądze na hardware, nie ma wpływu na to, że producent nagle „znudził się” projektem. To brutalne przypomnienie, że w nowoczesnym ekosystemie nie jesteśmy właścicielami funkcji urządzenia, a jedynie ich czasowymi dzierżawcami.

    70 miliardów dolarów później

    Powód tej decyzji jest czysto ekonomiczny i pokazuje skalę przestrzelonych ambicji. Dział Reality Labs, odpowiedzialny za budowę Metaverse, od 2021 roku przyniósł zatrważające 70 miliardów dolarów straty. Utrzymywanie niszowej, darmowej aplikacji do spotkań, która nie stała się drugim Zoomem, przestało się opłacać w dobie szukania oszczędności.

    Meta zamyka więc projekt, zwalnia ludzi i likwiduje studia, a rachunek za te eksperymenty płacą użytkownicy końcowi, zostając z technologią, która właśnie stała się uboższa.

    Zamiast biura – okulary z AI

    W komunikacie o zamknięciu usługi widać wyraźny zwrot akcji. Meta nie chce już, żebyśmy siedzieli godzinami w wirtualnych salach konferencyjnych z awatarami bez nóg. Teraz nowym punktem zainteresowania imperium Zuckerberga są urządzenia ubieralne (wearables) i sztuczna inteligencja, jak choćby okulary Ray-Ban Meta.

    Firma przesuwa kapitał tam, gdzie widzi nową szansę na zysk, bez sentymentów porzucając wizję, którą jeszcze dwa lata temu sprzedawała światu jako nieuchronną przyszłość pracy.

    Pierwsze wrażenia z Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarer – rób zdjęcia, wideo lub livestreamuj

    Masz miesiąc na ratowanie danych

    Najbardziej palącym problemem jest teraz czas. Użytkownicy Horizon Workrooms mają czas tylko do 16 lutego 2026 roku, by pobrać swoje notatki, schematy i pliki z wirtualnych tablic. Po tej dacie wszystko przepadnie. Równocześnie znika usługa wsparcia dla firm zarządzających flotą gogli, co jest jasnym sygnałem: jeśli budowałeś procesy biznesowe w oparciu o VR od Mety, czas szukać alternatywy. Lub wrócić do zwykłej kamery w laptopie.

  23. Meta profundiza sus recortes en el metaverso y cierra tres estudios de realidad virtual

    Como parte de una reestructuración interna y una reducción de costos en su división Reality Labs, Meta ha confirmado el cierre de tres de sus estudios de desarrollo de realidad virtual. La medida marca un nuevo capítulo en el ajuste de la estrategia de Mark Zuckerberg para su visión del metaverso, priorizando la eficiencia operativa sobre la expansión agresiva (Fuente Bloomberg).

    Meta continúa ajustando su ambiciosa apuesta por la realidad virtual y aumentada. En un movimiento reciente, la compañía cerró tres estudios clave que formaban parte de su cartera de desarrolladores de contenido para la plataforma Quest. Aunque los nombres específicos de los estudios afectados no siempre trascienden de inmediato en estos comunicados, esta acción refleja una tendencia clara: Meta está moviendo sus recursos hacia proyectos de inteligencia artificial y hardware de RA, dejando de lado iniciativas de software que no han alcanzado la escala comercial esperada.

    Desde 2023, la división Reality Labs ha estado bajo una lupa financiera constante debido a las pérdidas multimillonarias que genera trimestre tras trimestre. Estos cierres son una respuesta directa a la presión de los inversores por rentabilizar el ecosistema de las gafas Meta Quest. A pesar de los despidos y ceses de actividad, la empresa asegura que sigue comprometida con el desarrollo de contenido de primer nivel, pero bajo un enfoque mucho más selectivo y con equipos más compactos.

    El cierre de estos estudios deja en la incertidumbre a varios proyectos que se encontraban en desarrollo y plantea interrogantes sobre el futuro del catálogo exclusivo de Meta. Mientras la compañía redirige sus esfuerzos hacia la integración de IA generativa en sus dispositivos y el perfeccionamiento de sus gafas de realidad aumentada (como el proyecto Orion), el sector del gaming en VR siente el impacto de una retirada parcial por parte del jugador más grande de la industria.
