Madrid- google browser He is already working on his project known internally as Iris, which will bring him back to Augmented Reality (AR) equipment, which he could launch on the market in 2024.

According to The Verge, Project Iris will be a showcase for augmented reality with mixed reality capabilities, that is, technology that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality. It is currently in the early stages of development.

As they explained, the visor will look similar to ski goggles and will be independent, since it will not need to be connected to an external power source.

This device will work with a processor manufactured by google browser, just as other devices of the brand already do, such as Pixel 6 series smartphones, that use google browser strung. However, the chip it will eventually be equipped with is unknown.

At the moment, it is not known if these mixed reality glasses will bear the signature of the Pixel, but sources consulted by The Verge have indicated that the team for this subdivision from Google may be working on some parts of Project Iris.

Although, initially, it was planned to launch with the Android operating system, everything indicates that it will finally work with the new operating system for ecosystems and augmented reality (AR) devices that the company is preparing. The company described the software project as “crucial” to its plans.

According to detailed sources, about 300 people are working on the development of this model, which was developed in great secrecy, although the company plans to increase its workforce. It will be led by Labs Vice President Clay Bavor, who reports directly to CEO Sundar Pichai.

Google’s Project Iris viewer could compete with major companies such as Microsoft, which owns the standalone HoloLens Mixed Reality holographic device, and Apple, whose device is also in development.

It’s worth noting that while it will be the first mixed reality tool Google will launch in this way, Google previously opted for augmented reality, with the Google Glass device – which has been discontinued since 2015 – and invested in MagicLeap.

As far as virtual reality is concerned, the company has also worked with devices focused on said technology. Specifically, with Daydream, the mobile virtual reality platform, which it launched in 2016 and ended in February 2021, after ending app support in October 2020 when app support ended. Don’t forget the Google CardBoard viewer.
