Google has teased a new augmented reality (AR) glasses project called Project Astra, which is expected to launch in 2024. The company showcased a demo video highlighting the potential capabilities of the AR glasses, including real-time translation, navigation assistance, and visual overlays. Project Astra aims to provide a more immersive and seamless AR experience compared to Google Glass, the company’s previous AR glasses project. The demo video showcases scenarios where the AR glasses could be useful, such as translating foreign languages in real-time, providing turn-by-turn navigation directions, and displaying information overlays on physical objects. While details about the hardware and software specifications are still scarce, Google’s renewed interest in AR glasses suggests a potential resurgence in the wearable technology market. The company aims to address the limitations and challenges faced by its previous AR glasses project and deliver a more practical and user-friendly experience with Project Astra.
