Microsoft has announced significant layoffs and restructuring within its mixed reality and Azure cloud divisions. The tech giant is laying off over 1,000 employees, including hundreds working on the HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset. These layoffs are part of a broader trend in the tech industry, with companies like Google also reducing staff in their cloud units. Microsoft's Azure for Operators and Mission Engineering teams will be impacted by these job cuts. Despite the layoffs, Microsoft will continue to sell its HoloLens 2 headsets and strengthen its partnership with Meta, a move inspired by the technology that led Mark Zuckerberg to rename his company.
