Last month, we got to know that (according to a rumor) Samsung is working together with Microsoft on new AR glasses, most probably powered by a Qualcomm chipset.

Also with Bytedance’s huge cash reserves, Pico will be able to grow faster and increase its efforts in the consumer VR market in China (kickstarting the consumer VR market there), and maybe later on also try to compete with Oculus in the West.
