Meta’s major investment in Metaverse has not been a great success, and recently more than 1,000 people working on the project were laid off.

The latest news is that the social VR platform Horizon Workrooms will be shut down on February 16, according to a support document on Meta’s website.

At the same time, sales of the Meta Quest VR headset and associated software for business users will cease, reports The Verge.

Going forward, the focus for Metaverse will be on mobile phones and smart glasses, which is a big step away from the original vision.
