In the nine years since Google Glass launched, nearly every major tech company has tried its damnedest to make a decent pair of AR glasses. Most of these experimental products suck so bad that they never reach consumers or morph into bare-bones \u201csmart glasses,\u201d but Google could give the industry a much-needed push with a brand new AR operating system.<\/p>\n

Google is currently recruiting people for its \u201cAugmented Reality OS team,\u201d which will build \u201cthe software components that control and manage\u201d future AR hardware. Job listings for the AR OS team, which were first spotted by 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, describe a software that can create \u201ccompelling AR experiences on highly-customized hardware platforms,\u201d meaning that this OS will probably run on more than just smart glasses.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the new AR OS might power more than just Google hardware. One of Google\u2019s greatest strengths is its ability to uplift (or create) entire industries with software like Android, Chrome OS, and Wear OS. Assuming that Google shares its AR OS, which isn\u2019t a guarantee, it could become the premiere operating system for nearly all<\/em> AR products. (Large rival companies like App<\/a>le will probably build their own AR OS, though.)<\/p>\n

This morning I became a Noogler. My role is to lead the Operating System team for Augmented Reality at Google.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in joining me on this journey, I’d love to talk. Here is a link to one of the many positions I’m working to fill: https:\/\/t.co\/a4glyeFxVD<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/hVAVKcZvQJ<\/a><\/p>\n

That said, Google will absolutely develop its own AR devices. The company\u2019s job listings mention as much. Whether these products reach the market is a different story, and of course, we aren\u2019t 100% sure what Google is working on.<\/p>\n

We can make one assumption, though. Google will probably use North, a smart glasses company that it bought in 2020, to build a pair of AR frames running on the new AR OS. After all, some of Google\u2019s new job listings are based in North\u2019s hometown of Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada. (Any smart glasses Google releases will probably be very different from Google Glass, which is now an enterprise-only product.)<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on when Google will launch future AR products, but it\u2019d better hurry. Facebook<\/a> has spent years working on AR glasses and real-world integration with the \u201cMetaverse,\u201d Apple will supposedly release its smart frames in 2022, and there\u2019s a glut of companies (both big and small) teasing wild AR glasses concepts.<\/p>\n

Of course, we hear wild things about soon-to-be AR products nearly every year. Augmented reality is clearly very<\/em> difficult to work with, which is why companies keep ditching their experimental devices. There\u2019s no guarantee that major tech companies will launch compelling AR devices in 2022 or 2023, so don\u2019t get your hopes up.<\/p>\n
