Google resumes work on AR Iris glasses with built-in assistant: Report

Google has reportedly resumed Project Iris, its augmented reality (AR) glasses that it had cancelled in June this year. According to an article on 9to5Google, Google may have resumed efforts in producing its first augmented reality (AR) glasses to take on the Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest lineup.

According to the news report, the new beta update to the Google app has added a new string with a tag ‘Iris’. The report also states that this string would allow Google Assistant to wake up using a long press on the right temple of a new device that has been labelled as the ‘Iris device’.
