Meta And LG Slow Down XR Collaboration As LG Considers Amazon Partnership: Report
LG Corporation (OTC:LGCOF) is reportedly pausing its partnership with Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) to develop an extended reality (XR) device intended to compete with Apple Inc's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Vision Pro headset, just three months after the joint venture was announced.
据报道，在合资企业宣布成立仅三个月后，LG公司（场外交易代码：LGCOF）就暂停了与Meta Platforms Inc（纳斯达克股票代码：META）开发扩展现实（XR）设备的合作，该设备旨在与苹果公司（纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）的Vision Pro耳机竞争。
Despite several Korean news outlets suggesting the partnership has completely fallen apart due to a lack of "synergy," LG denies this, stating: "LG Electronics continues the XR partnership with Meta forged in February but is controlling its pace," according to Korea JoongAng Daily (via The Verge).
尽管有几家韩国新闻媒体表示，由于缺乏 “协同效应”，该合作伙伴关系已完全破裂，但LG否认了这一点，并表示：“LG电子延续了2月份与Meta建立的XR合作伙伴关系，但正在控制其步伐，” 据韩国中央日报（通过The Verge）报道。
Initially, the collaboration aimed to combine Meta's Horizon Worlds mixed reality platform with LG's TV content and services, with products expected to launch next year.
最初，该合作旨在将Meta的Horizon Worlds混合现实平台与LG的电视内容和服务相结合，产品预计将于明年推出。
They were also exploring the integration of on-device AI using Meta's large language models. However, Seoul Economic Daily reports that while the collaboration continues, the release date is now likely pushed to 2027.
他们还在探索使用 Meta 的大型语言模型整合设备端人工智能。但是，《首尔经济日报》报道说，尽管合作仍在继续，但现在的发布日期可能会推迟到2027年。
Amid these developments, some publications report that LG is shifting focus to a new XR headset partnership with Amazon, leveraging Amazon Prime's extensive streaming content and 200 million subscribers.
在这些事态发展中，一些出版物报告说，LG正在利用亚马逊Prime的广泛流媒体内容和2亿订阅者，将重点转移到与亚马逊建立新的XR耳机合作伙伴关系上。
Meta's Reality Labs program, facing significant financial challenges, has reportedly lost a billion dollars every month since June 2022, according to GamesIndustry.biz. Despite this, Meta remains committed, expecting losses to "increase meaningfully" due to ongoing product development and ecosystem expansion efforts.
据GamesIndustry.biz称，Meta的Reality Labs计划面临重大财务挑战，据报道，自2022年6月以来，每月损失10亿美元。尽管如此，Meta仍然坚定不移，预计由于持续的产品开发和生态系统扩展工作，损失将 “大幅增加”。
The broader VR/AR industry is also experiencing challenges. Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:SONY) has paused production of its PSVR 2 headset due to unsold inventory, and Apple's Vision Pro headset has seen sluggish sales, with some Apple stores selling as few as two units per week, reported by Bloomberg.
更广泛的虚拟现实/增强现实行业也面临挑战。彭博社报道，由于库存未售出，索尼集团公司（纽约证券交易所代码：SONY）已暂停生产其PSVR 2头戴式耳机，而苹果的Vision Pro头戴式耳机销售疲软，一些苹果商店每周的销量仅为两台。
