Google's credibility in #AR is insanely low. It already bought @focalsbynorth and I tried their 2.0 smart glasses which were brilliant but never saw the light of day once @Google got their hands on the tech. It's been 2 years since I saw the prototype glasses and not a peep... https://t.co/aOHcx21tpt

it’s physically impossible for me to get excited about google building yet another VR/AR headset, but i guess it is doing it anyways https://t.co/pQAM1kfzdu

An eagle-eyed Verge reader pointed out that Bernard Kress, an early leader on Google Glass who has been working at Microsoft on HoloLens, just came back to Google as director of optical engineering for AR hardware. Interesting LinkedIn description! https://t.co/jlAwdD9P1k pic.twitter.com/FdXJ0c77Cy

Among other things, journalists saw the problems with Stadia's launch pricing and Daydream's 3DOF waggle wand (vs. established 6DOF competitors) a mile away.

(Love Daydream's fit and the clarity of Stadia's streaming codecs, though.)

It's like... the tech of Google Glass and the competitive ambitions of Google+, all rolled into one!

Scoop: Google is quietly building its own AR headset, codenamed Project Iris, to take on Meta and Apple.
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) January 20, 2022
Target ship year is 2024 for the headset and Project Starline, its futuristic (and very expensive) 3D video conferencing tech. https://t.co/JiKDIBSmVJ
Of course they are. I just wish Google would ship North Focals 2.0. That group was on to something and I'd love to see iteration rather than giant skunk works projects that launch without any market feedback. https://t.co/9bV02S0OB6

The Verge reports that Google is working on an AR headset codenamed "Project Iris". Early prototypes resemble ski goggles and are untethered. It may launch as early as 2024 with a custom Google SoC and run Android, though a unique OS may be in the works.https://t.co/RovHTNsDrY

There is enough smoke around the 2023 timeframe for an Apple AR launch that it will spur competitors' timelines. https://t.co/BnARlbeZA9

I'm excited, but skeptical.

Every tech giant needs to have an AR/VR project to hedge against "the metaverse" and/or Apple's shadow headset, but Daydream and Stadia saw embarrassing retreats because Google didn't think things through https://t.co/VhceU3iDRy
Considering how much strife Google has caused in the #AR space between Tango, Glass and 'AR Elements' I don't really know if anyone takes them seriously anymore. Partnerships are going to be hard. https://t.co/QdN493xBnb
