  + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Hugh Langley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Google has killed off a project to build a pair of augmented reality glasses it had been working on for several years. In 2020, the company announced it purchased North, a Canadian startup that made AR glasses. Since shelving the Iris glasses, Google has focused on creating software platforms for AR that it hopes to license to other manufacturers building headsets. Two employees said it's possible Google may resurrect the Iris glasses one day and that some teams are still experimenting with AR technologies. Other teams were moved to work on the software platform and Samsung partnership, they said.
