Google is said to be working on a standalone AR headset, and the project is for now codenamed Google A65. Now we are having more details about the project; according to the reports from Winfuture.de who claims to have documents that indicate Google’s working with Taiwanese manufacturer Quanta on the AR headset.
Going back in time, Google has a working history with Quanta for Pixel C tablet. The new VR headset said to feature camera sensors, microphones with a possibility to operate the headset with Google Assistant. It is said to have a custom quad-core internet-of-things-focused Qualcomm QSC603 that is based on the ARM Cortex-A75.
The processor has support up to 2,560 x 1,440 resolution (WQHD), 1080p and 1030p video capture, 3D overlays and rendering interfaces OpenGL, OpenCL and Vulcan, Gigabit wireless, Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS. Furthermore, it also supports the Android Neural Networks API. However, it looks like the headset will still need to be wired to a computer despite wireless mixed-reality headsets becoming available. Google declined to comment on the new development right away.
