Among these testimonies, not only inappropriate comments and unwanted physical contacts such as groping are exposed.

The co-creator of the HoloLens supposedlyplayed a virtual reality pornographic video in front of the other workers. At the moment, the company has not confirmed or rejected what was published by the aforementioned medium.

Kipman's departure will also cause a shakeup of the mixed reality teams. On the one hand, hardware development will be under the supervision of Panos Panay, as part of the Windows + Devices structure.

In addition, everything related to software will be under the tutelage of Jeff Teper in the Experiences + Devices division.
