In February, we learned that Google is working to develop a virtual reality helmet and full and independent style Ookols Rift to go to a new level of competition, but this project will not see the light where he decided to stop it.
According to the site Recode reason to stop the project Google to change its plans and its desire to focus more on the virtual reality platform via smart phones, not personal computers and gaming devices, as is the case with the htc vive and Ookolos.
This is logical from Google after he revealed in a developers conference on Daydream VR virtual reality platform that will organize things on a platform of smart phones in various angles and is based on the Android system. In all cases, the new independent magnifying project within the X-laboratory experimental projects and closed routinely ordered as already having been closed for several projects in some stage of development.
It is worth mentioning that the helmet or glasses independent project he was working by 50 employees between the engineer and programmer and Google was working to develop different from Android and a new special operating system.
This does not mean that Google would abandon virtual reality, but on the contrary they will mobilize more resources from the staff, funds, technologies and expertise to focus more on virtual reality via smart phones by encouraging the development of services and applications instead of encouraging making helmets are expensive, as is the case with Ookolos Rift .
