Google’s AR head resigns, citing “recent changes in AR leadership”

After months of turbulence for Google’s mixed reality devices, Mark Lucovsky, head of operating systems and software platforms for augmented and mixed reality devices, has departed the company. He announced his departure through a tweet on Monday.

Lucovsky expressed in his tweet that the recent changes in AR leadership and the company’s unstable commitment and vision are the reasons behind his decision.

It continues to remain unclear what leadership changes Mark Lucovsky is referring to in his tweet. However, reports suggest that it is possible that Lucovsky is referring to Clay Bavor’s departure in March of this year, who has led Google’s XR work since 2015.
