Niantic, the developer of the uber-popular mobile title Pokemon Go, has been working on AR-based products for a long time now. Back in 2019, the company partnered with Qualcomm to develop an AR Glass. However, the company reportedly revealed that it had “no plans” to make any hardware products of its own. But today, John Hanke, the CEO of Niantic Labs, has shared an image of what looks like AR Glasses.
Exciting to see the progress we’re making to enable new kinds of devices that leverage our platform… pic.twitter.com/yYglk4q89G
As you can see, it is essentially a close-up look of Niantic’s AR Glasses. They will have a speaker on its rim (similar to Bose Frames) and the “Niantic” branding on the side. We can also see the lens at one of the corners of the image. Apart from this, not much else is known about these AR Glasses at the moment.
