EU Closer to New Device Repair Rules
The European Parliament adopted the directive on the so-called “right to repair” for consumers.
Microsoft is splitting the mixed reality team behind its HoloLens products following the departure of the unit’s leader Alex Kipman. He had to resign after allegations of verbal abuse and sexual harassment.
Business Insider appears to have first reported the allegations of misconduct against the HoloLens chief. GeekWire then obtained a copy of an internal email said to have been sent to staff by Microsoft Cloud & AI Group head Scott Guthrie that outlined the changes ahead. According to the email, Microsoft’s mixed reality hardware group will be moved into the Windows & Devices organization, while the mixed reality presence and collaboration group are to be shifted into the Microsoft Teams organization in the company’s Experiences & Devices division.
Concerning Kipman, the email reportedly stated that they have mutually decided that this is the right time for Kipman to leave the company to pursue other opportunities. The mixed reality team provides AR and VR products and solutions, including HoloLens, IVAS, and the Microsoft Mesh service.
