Google rumoured to be working on standalone AR headset

Has Google learned its lesson from Glass and ready to start again?

There might be a Google-made standalone augmented reality headset in our future, if the report from German publication WinFuture is to be believed. The company is supposedly working on this headset codenamed A65 and it’s partnering with Quanta to create it. Quanta is a Taiwanese manufacturer that helped Google with the Pixel C before. This headset is said to be powered by a Qualcomm QCS603 processor and a chipset codenamed SXR1. It’s reportedly not going to have any tethered wires and will have camera sensors and microphones for possible voice control. Not much else is known about this project and it might take some time before we hear anything because WinFuture reports the partners started working on this earlier this year.
