Meta Rejects Google's Proposal for VR and AR Tie-Up
Google reportedly approached Meta to partner on its upcoming XR platform, Android XR, but Meta declined, citing restrictive terms that would limit its freedom to innovate. Meta's existing Quest operating system is based on the open-source core of Android, and the company has recently announced a strategic collaboration with LG for future XR devices. While both Google and Meta are vying to entice hardware companies to adopt their platforms, the potential partnership could create a formidable force against Apple's Vision headsets, but concerns remain about business details and decision-making given Google's track record with platforms like Daydream and Stadia.
