Microsoft plans new mixed-reality VR headset to rival Apple Vision Pro — may run Windows apps via the cloud

Microsoft has entered into an agreement with Samsung to procure "hundreds of thousands" of micro-OLED displays for a new mixed reality headset focused on content consumption, particularly gaming and movies. This headset aims to target consumers rather than enterprises, diverging from the HoloLens line. The development follows the cancellation of a third-generation HoloLens and the discontinuation of the Windows Mixed Reality platform. Recent patent filings suggest a design similar to the Apple Vision Pro, featuring OLED displays and passthrough cameras. Microsoft is also developing a cloud-based solution, codenamed “Williams Bay,” which will allow mixed reality headsets to run full Windows desktop applications and enable developers to enhance these applications with 3D extensions. The launch timeline for the headset is unclear, with suggestions it may not be ready until 2026.
