Prior to this, related reports indicated that this Google project was also led by Clay Bavor, the project leader of "Project Starline", and the team members also included Scott Huffman, who participated in the design of the Google Assistant service application, and Shahram Izadi of the ARcore team.
However, with Clay BavorRecently left GoogleAt the same time, Google also experienced layoffs, organizational restructuring and other changes, which led to the shelving of Project Iris.
As the company continues to adjust the development model of Project Iris internally, it seems to be more inclined to create a software platform corresponding to augmented reality applications, and hopes to license it to other industries based on the Android development model. It may even be preparing to cooperate with Samsung to create a new augmented reality headset.
Google has not responded to this, but it has obviously not given up its plan to develop the virtual vision application market.
Earlier, Google acquired North, a Canadian human-computer interface design company, to create a new model for ambient computing interactions. Separately, Rick Osterloh, Google's senior vice president of devices and services, confirmed the acquisition of Raxium, a California-based startup developing Micro LED technology, to help develop a new generation of virtual reality headsets.
