Intel confirmed that the Vaunt glasses are not on the market, not even for developers. The project has been completely halted, Intel also closed the underlying division, where these products are developed.
The Vaunt prototype contained no camera, buttons or microphone. The smart glasses looked like ordinary glasses but contained a function to project images onto your retina. The Vaunt should have been available for developers later this year. Intel would now be looking for third parties to bring the product to the market (basically sell it off).
In a statement, Intel says the company sometimes has to take the “difficult decision” to stop the development of a product. Approximately two hundred people worked in the smart consumer products department, of whom a part probably will lose their job.
