Google has a long history with AR and VR headsets, and it looks like added pressure from companies like Meta and Apple are pushing Google to take things more seriously. According to The Verge, Google is building a consumer-focused AR headset to do exactly that.

Internally codenamed Project Iris, Google’s in-development headset uses outward-facing cameras to blend computer graphics with a feed of the real world. It doesn’t require a tethered connection to a power source. To assist with processing power, Google supposedly plans to use data centers to remotely render graphics and send them to the headset via an internet connection.
