Project Iris promised subtitles for real life and had only been showcased by Google last year.

As big tech companies like Apple and Meta are debuting their new AR/VR headsets, Google is going the opposite way and ending its own AR glasses efforts, known as Project Iris.
The AR glasses, which resembled reading glasses (unlike the ski goggle-adjacent Apple’s Vision Pro headset), appear to be the ones that were showcased as part of Google I/O 2022. The device would’ve been able to translate what other people say in real-time and display the written words on the glasses for the wearer to see, much like subtitles for real life.
