At the end of last year, it was reported from MetaDig a cornerThe system engineer who is responsible for the development of the mixed reality operating system and is rumored to be creating wearable devices corresponding to augmented reality,New York TimesIt is revealed again that Google's wearable device will be developed by the hardware and services team responsible for the Pixel series products.Invest in research and development.
In addition, the New York Times also stated that Google's new smart wearable device will integrate the Canadian human-computer interaction interface design company acquired in 2020NorthIts technology is combined with augmented reality application experience to create a new environmental computing interaction model.
However, Google has not responded to the New York Times report, and there is no further evidence that Google is working on creating wearable devices that use augmented reality.
Earlier, Google launched a smart wearable device called Google Glass, but ultimately, because it was difficult to eliminate the consumer market's concerns about user privacy and security, and there were not many suitable usage models at the time, although Google Glass later turned to the enterprise commercial field, it eventually became a product that Google no longer continued to develop.
However, in recent times, applications such as the metaverse and augmented reality have gradually become mainstream market trends, and companies including Meta and Apple have actively invested in the development of these fields. Obviously, Google will not miss out on related development opportunities.
