Rumor: Google is developing new product in the field of augmented or virtual reality

Google seems to be working on a new product in the field of virtual reality or augmented reality. The search giant has put various vacancies online in recent days for people who would be needed to develop the new product.

Google does not specify what product it is, but the vacancies require employees, among other things, to travel to other countries to oversee the production of a new product, Road to VR reports based on the various vacancy texts.

The vacancy texts leave it open whether it concerns a product in the field of virtual reality or whether it concerns augmented reality. Google has been working on both in recent years. For example, last year it released Daydream View, a VR headset that fits the Pixel phones. A few years ago, Google showed Glass glasses, an application in the field of augmented reality.

Rumors have been going for some time that Google is developing a separate VR headset with its own hardware and its own power supply. The Daydream View is only a phone holder with a handheld controller. Some time ago there were also rumors about a successor to Glass. This could, for example, be aimed at the medical sector or other business applications.
