Google Glass is now 'Project Aura;' welcomes ex-Amazon employees
- 9 years ago
Looks like Google Glass really isn't dead like the company promised.
Mountain View has been hiring engineers and software developers out of Amazon's Lab126 for the initiative now dubbed "Project Aura," according to Business Insider and The Wall Street Journal.
Business Insider says Project Aura will work on other wearables, as well, and will remain under Google's supervision instead of being established as a separate entity under the Alphabet umbrella.
It's still run by Project Glass' original head honcho Ivy Ross, but she'll now report to Nest CEO Tony Fadell, who volunteered to rescue the initiative and work on the second iteration.
Project Aura, however, will remain independent from the thermostat company.
