Web3 slowdown

Some key cut off was Virtual, Mixed Reality, and HoloLens. The hype around the metaverse is coming to reality. GPT in fact is much more realistic than metaverse. Now we see a traction of shift. " it paints a picture of a company that perhaps no longer believes in virtual reality."

Microsoft has laid off entire teams behind Virtual, Mixed Reality, and HoloLens

Google’s Fuchsia and Area 120 see significant cuts in layoffs

Key points

  • Nest Hub series and is poised to be used in an upcoming device
  • Reply as a smart response toolbar appended to notifications on Android (GPT has killed this I guess)
  • Collection of touchscreen games from Area 120’s GameSnacks to play on Android Auto.

I have not seen a great move in Edge Analytics / Google Coral TPU. There was not a great breakthrough in terms of AI adoption / Breakthru models. 

Working on Great Tech vs Delivering Value vs Solving use cases

Keep Exploring!!!
