Lilbits: Goodbye Windows Mixed Reality, Hello Raspberry Pi 500, 80 Gbps USB4 v2 cables, and Rockchip RK3688 processor

Last year Microsoft announced that it would be ending support for Windows Mixed Reality and, sure enough, when the company begin rolling out Windows 11 24H2 this week it no longer included support for the virtual reality headsets released by companies like Acer, HP, and Lenovo between 2017 and 2020. The platform was never enormously popular, but this has to sting a bit for folks who bought those headsets.

In other recent tech news from around the web, Rockchip is starting to talk about a flagship processor that should offer big boost in CPU, graphics, and AI performance over the popular RK3588, Raspberry Pi has kind of, sort of confirmed that it’s working on a follow-up to the Raspberry Pi 400 computer-in-a-keyboard, the first USB4 v2 cables with support for 80 Gbps speeds and 240W charging are coming, and Samsung is porting it’s Tizen smart TV software to work with RISC-V processors.

Rockchip teases the upcoming RK3688 processor with an Armv9.3 CPU (with Cortex-A7xx series cores and an NPU with up to 16 TOPS of AI performance. The chip also supports 128-bit LPDDR4, LPDDR4x, or LPDDR5x memory and UFS 4.0 storage. The processor is expected to launch in 2025 or 2026.

The Raspberry Pi 500 Hints At Its Existence [HackADay]

The first mentions of the Raspberry Pi 500 in Raspberry Pi OS code suggests that a new computer-in-a-keyboard is in the way. It would be a follow-up to the Raspberry Pi 400, which launched in 2020 as a keyboard PC with the power of a Raspberry Pi 4. The new model would most likely have the same processor as the newer Raspberry Pi 5.

Google is killing its one-click app to run Chrome OS in a VM on Android devices [Android Authority]

Google kills ferrochrome, an app that would have made it easy to run ChromeOS in a virtual machine on Android devices with a one-click installer. It was probably more of a tech demo than a real product, and now it’ll never ship.

Windows Mixed Reality Headsets No Longer Function With Latest Windows 11 Update [UploadVR]

As promised/threatened, Microsoft is pulling the plug on Windows Mixed Reality. Windows 11 24H2 no longer supports any of the Windows MR headsets that were sold between 2017 and 2020.

Samsung Highlights Work to Bring RISC-V to Tizen [SiFive]

Samsung is porting the Tizen operating system that powers its smart TVs to work with RISC-V chips like the SiFive Performance P470

ELECOM releases Japan’s first certified USB4 Version 2.0 Type-C cable [PC Watch]

ELECOM is one of the first companies to announce it will soon release USB4 v2 cables capable of data transfer speeds as high as 80 Gbps. One cable will also support 240W USB Power Delivery, while a different (presumably cheaper) cable will top out at 60W charging speeds. Both support 8K/60Hz video output using DisplayPort Alt mode.

Microsoft deprecates #WindowsMixedReality - which raises the question: What is their future VR strategy? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/deprecated-features

It's official: #Microsoft deprecated #WindowsMixedReality and will remove it in a future #Windows update...
What a shame, it was an excellent alternative to #MetaQuest and #ValveIndex that went from the low-end to the high-end while being compatible with #SteamVR.
Well, let's start counting days before my HP WMR becomes a paperweight :/ #VR #WMR

Goodbye Windows Mixed Reality, we hardly knew Microsoft’s VR software

Like many companies, Microsoft made a big bet on virtual & augmented reality a few years back. But it looks like the company has decided that bet hasn’t really paid off.
Windows Mixed Reality has been added to Microsoft’s list of deprecated features, and it will be removed from Windows altogether in an upcoming release. Update: That […]

ok consider me slightly impressed. I was able to run #BeatSaber on #SteamVR through #WindowsMixedReality Portal on a 13.5 inch laptop. Yes, graphics were on low settings, and UI wasn't super smooth, but I ran 2 #6DoF #VR environments at the same time with a 2GB GPU.
