Apple reportedly shelved a Mac-connected AR glasses project


Bloomberg says Apple was developing augmented reality glasses powered by its Mac computers, but it canceled the project before the company could even announce it.

According to Bloomberg, Apple scrapped the program this week because the product didn't perform well when executives tested it and the company kept on changing the features it wanted for the device. Bloomberg says Apple originally wanted the AR glasses to be powered by the iPhone, but the smartphone didn't have the processing capacity to sustain the device's features. However, employees part of the company's vision products group reportedly thought the project suffered from a lack of focus and clear direction.
