What Google Wants To Do?
This team will create “the software components that control and manage the hardware on our augmented reality (AR) products”, detailing Google’s job offers.
This is not the first time the company is talking about AR. Smartphones using its Android operating system are equipped with ARCore, an SDK for designing augmented reality applications.
It was born from the ashes of the Tango project, which relied on a dedicated camera module to help smartphones map their environment.
“We are focused on making immersive computing solutions accessible to many people via mobile devices,” details a job posting for a senior software engineer. The offering adds that they will also be responsible for helping “create compelling augmented reality experiences on highly personalized hardware platforms .” Other offers are from developers specializing in camera and input peripherals, and others refer to “development of a real-time operating system (RTOS)”.

Between this acquisition and these new job offers, Google seems to seriously want to (re) engage in augmented reality. They also brought North; the start-up behind the Focals connected glasses, which was acquired by Google in June 2020.
Google is building up its workforce at a time when Apple also seems determined to take a step forward.
Apple is also working on a mixed reality headset that could be unveiled this year. The battle will also (if not above all) be played out with Meta, whose ambitions in this area are very clear.
The big giants like Disney, Nike, Niantic, Microsoft and other companies are also building their own versions of Metaverse.
