According to Bloomberg, Google is interested in acquiring the startup AdHawk Microsystems and creating new “smart” glasses.
The agency’s sources noted that the American IT giant planned to acquire the Canadian startup AdHawk Microsystems. Google may pay $ 115 million for it, and the purchase will be made this week.
According to the sources, Google, which released its first Google Glass glasses 10 years ago, still hopes to strengthen its position in the market for similar devices by introducing a new device.
AdHawk Microsystems's eye-tracking technology provides precise focusing, reduces visual load, and can be used as a biometric identification method. The startup, founded in 2017, received investments from Intel, HP, Samsung, and Sony.
