Sony Sells Dozens of XR Patents to Meta
Original: Sony Sells off Dozens of XR Patents to Meta in Apparent Pullback From AR/VR Hardware https:// roadtovr.com/sony-sells-xr
Sony has transferred dozens of extended reality patents to Meta, a move being read as a pullback from AR/VR hardware development. The sale covers headset-related patents and has sparked discussion about Sony's commitment to PlayStation VR and its future in the immersive technology market, with Meta consolidating its XR patent portfolio.
Why now: The transfer of headset patents to its rival fuels speculation that Sony is scaling back its VR ambitions.
