Google is making an AR headset with new Qualcomm chips 👍
Google is reportedly working on a standalone augmented
reality headset that will use new Qualcomm chips. It will be built by
Taiwanese computer maker Quanta. The project is still in its early
stages, according to documents obtained by WinFuture.
The AR headset is supposed to be similar to Microsoft’s HoloLens,
a headset that came out in 2016 and is aimed at design, training, and
industrial use. The Google AR headset that’s in development will
reportedly be self-contained and powered by a Qualcomm chip, rather than
tethered to another device.
It will also include cameras and
microphones. The headset is currently going by the name “Google A65.”
There’s no release date yet for the Google A65 as it’s still in the
prototype stage, according to WinFuture.The headset won’t only operate like a HoloLens, but it
will use the same chips. HoloLens is rumored to be getting an update
this year, with a new ARM-powered design and an improved field of view.
The Qualcomm chips that will reportedly be used in both the new HoloLens
and the new Google headset are the Qualcomm QSC603 four-core chips,
based on ARM architecture.

Google already produces an augmented reality headset called Google Glass, which was released to some criticism in 2013, and it received a new enterprise version last year.
The Google Glass is basically a smart heads-up display and camera,
though, while HoloLens-style headsets support what’s sometimes called
“mixed reality,” with objects that appear to be part of the world, not
just overlaid onto it.
