Google might not be axing its smart glasses project after all, but it might take a different turn to make the product available. The tech giant might be on the lookout for a partner to work with for the development and launch of this product. Working with a partner will mean sharing ideas both on the hardware and software of the pair of smart glasses.

For a few years, the internet has been expecting the launch of the Google smart glasses. This product was not just hearsay or the mere speculations of some popular tipster. Google had shown off this product and given fans hope of its existence to the point of showcasing its functionality during an event.

However, just a few months ago, Google visited the smart glasses project with their infamous axe, bringing its existence to an end. Well, it now seems like Google did not finish the project off entirely, as they are now looking for a partnership. According to recent reports, the smart glasses aren’t dead but will bring a partnership between Google and another company.

Google smart glasses might launch in 2025 with an impressive microLED display and software features

Ever since its inception, Google smart glasses have seen a lot of challenges. Most people say that these challenges are internal problems that teams working on this project have to face. These include leadership changes and an unclear vision for the final product.

For this reason, Google had to end the project and focus its attention on other things. One of the areas they turned their attention to is the XR industry. Google and Samsung are now partnering up to create a pair of XR glasses that will run on Android software.

Working with Samsung on this project will mean that Samsung gets the hardware ready and Google perfects the software. This might also be the case with the smart glasses that Google’s fans have been expecting. By partnering with another company, Google might get to focus on perfecting the software this product will run on.

However, reports also have it that Google is working on the glasses’ display technology. These might be microLED screens and will be designed by Raxium, a company Google now owns. While some hardware aspects of this project are on hold, the software development is still on throttle.

Google aims to launch this pair of smart glasses by 2025, bringing tech in front of users’ eyes. Once available, this product will bring a new way to interact with your smart devices. More details on this product’s development will be made available in the coming months.
