Accused of harassment and other misconduct, head of Microsoft hololens

On June 8, Alex kipman, a Microsoft executive, resigned after being accused of abusive and sexual harassment and other misconduct. It is reported that kipman was responsible for the development of Kinect motion controllers for Microsoft's augmented reality headset hololens and Xbox game console

Microsoft did not respond to kipmann's resignation. But an internal email sent by Scott Guthrie, head of Microsoft's cloud and artificial intelligence department, confirmed this statement. "We agreed that this was the right time for him to leave the company and look for other opportunities," Guthrie wrote The e-mail did not mention kipmann's misconduct, but said that he would stay in office for two months to help hand over the work. Gersley also elaborated on the restructuring of the hybrid reality department, in which the hardware team will join the Microsoft Windows software and device team headed by Panos Panay

according to insiders, more than 25 Microsoft employees said in an internal report that kipmann had misconduct, including unnecessary physical touch. In another case, kipmann allegedly watched a virtual reality video with bad content in front of employees in the office

it was previously reported that Microsoft employees had been warned not to let women stay alone with kipmann. At that time, Microsoft neither admitted nor denied the specific allegations about kipmann's misconduct against women, but denied that kipmann began to attend the meeting accompanied by personnel department employees

a former Microsoft executive said that he was very distressed by kipmann's behavior. They thought that the epidemic actually made the matter better: "in this way, we never have to communicate with him face to face."

kipmann has not responded to many requests for comment, and he has not tweeted since May 23

in February this year, it was reported that the hololens department was in a mess, and hololens 3 may have been cancelled. "Don't believe what you see online," kipmann responded In January this year, it was reported that more than 70 Microsoft employees in the hololens team left the company in 2021, and more than 40 of them joined meta

the US Army once ordered 120000 sets of integrated visual enhancement systems (IVAS) from Microsoft. This order is expected to bring us $21.88 billion in revenue to the company within 10 years. But the U.S. Army delayed the deal, and the Pentagon audit was not optimistic about the plan. The inspector general of the U.S. Department of defense wrote in a report in April 2022: "purchasing IVAS without user approval may waste up to $21.88 billion of taxpayer funds, resulting in a system that soldiers may not want to use or do not use as planned." But Guthrie pointed out in his memo that the US Army did approve a test last month

regardless of the progress of IVAS plan, kipmann is out. (Chenchen)
