Google “working on mixed reality headset”July 19, 2016 - 15:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - With the world slowly drifting into an alternate reality, it appears as if Google is looking to join the party, Digital Spy said. As Digital Spy reports citing Engadget, the tech giant is working on a high-end headset that mixes the virtual and augmented realm. The standalone won't require the use of a mobile phone or computer to function, operating through a screen and favouring AR - meaning it's more likely to challenge Microsoft's HoloLens than Oculus's Rift. Recode also offered some potential info about the device, claiming it has been designed to compete with other VR gaming devices and that the company has other hardware projects in development. While this would likely be Google's biggest plunge into the alternate reality field, it isn't its first. Earlier this year, it unveiled Project Daydream, a VR platform that built on the arrival of budget headset Cardboard. No timeline has been set out by the company, but we imagine the mixed reality will make Pokemon Go even more enjoyable for the world, Digital Spy said.
