Google’s focus has turned to creating the equivalent of Android for augmented reality headsets developed by other companies.
Google’s attempt to enter the augmented reality smart glasses market has apparently ended after several years of work on the project.
As Insider reports, people familiar with the matter are reporting Google killed the project, which is known internally as «Project Iris,» after parent company Alphabet cut 12,000 jobs back in January. Clay Bavor, Google’s vice president of AR/VR, also left the company back in March.
