New Delhi: Technology giant Google has announced that it will halt sales of its high-tech specs. The company said it remained committed to launching a consumer version of its smart eyewear, Google Glass, but would stop making the headset in its current form and focus instead on future versions of Glass.
The company confirmed that it will stop selling the £1,000 smart glasses next week, just months after launching in the UK.
The company will also discontinue its 'Explorer' programme – the aim of which was to see how people used the technology and to gather their feedback.
Google is putting brakes on an 'explorer' program that let people interested in dabbling with Glass buy eyewear for $1,500 apiece.
The company said that the Glass Explorer programme, which closes on 19 January, was “a kind of ‘open beta’ to hear what people had to say.”
Google has given no specific date for when the next version of Glass might be available.
