摘要： 近期，Meta进行了最新一轮裁员，规模超1000人，主要针对其负责VR/AR硬件和元宇宙项目的Reality Labs部门。 扎克伯格在2021年F8开发者大会上挥舞着手臂，激情描述着社交VR技术刚刚触及表面，承诺要让摄像 头成为首个增强现实平台，台下是成百上千张因兴奋而发光的脸。 如今，这些场景已成为历史废墟的一部分。 2026年1月初，Meta进行了最新一轮裁员，主要针对其负责VR/AR硬件和元宇宙项目的Reality Labs部 门。 这家曾经重金押注元宇宙的公司，正将资源从沉浸式数字宇宙的愿景中抽离，转向更实际的AI智能眼 镜等可穿戴设备，更大的志向实际是产品的前半句——AI。 扎克伯格的中国学徒自然更不会好过，一家集万千宠爱于一身的头部AR明星公司，早在2023年就裁撤 了硬件团队，元宇宙的梦想早已被现实击碎。同期，字节花重金买下的PICO经历了组织架构调整，随 即开启漫长的停歇。 现在，VR和元宇宙是一个旧时代的隐喻，用来指代那些炒作、割韭菜、搞快钱的群体。 一个曾经性感且令人兴奋的新宇宙，如何从盛极一时，到被全世界的极客抛弃？ 十年挣扎，陨落的愿景 Meta的裁员标志着一次重要的战略撤退 ...
