Google Rekindles Interest in AR Specs: New ‘Iris’ Project Emerging?

Reviving Augmented Reality Glasses with Enhanced Features

While Google has maintained a somewhat low profile on this front, particularly following the discontinuation of Google Glass Enterprise, the market category for smart glasses continues to progress, as exemplified by our recent Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses review. Moreover, it’s worth noting that Google is actively collaborating with Samsung on a mixed reality headset, aimed at rivaling the Meta Quest 3 and the Apple Vision Pro. This report hints at the possibility of a more lightweight and user-friendly iteration, tailored to the needs of everyday consumers.

The resurgence of Google’s augmented reality ambitions indicates a promising future for AR technology integrated into everyday eyewear, and it leaves us eagerly awaiting further details and the potential revival of Project Iris.
