Apple has reportedly scrapped a project to create new augmented reality glasses that would fit closely within the rest of its device ecosystem. The team working on the project was informed of the decision in the last week of January, according to sources familiar with the decision and reported by Bloomberg.

In November, the same outlet reported that Apple had launched the project under the codename "Atlas," with the goal to build a pair of advanced, AR smart glasses, perhaps in order to compete with Meta's promising "Orion" prototype.

Though this project has been axed, Apple reportedly still plans to bring a standalone set of AR glasses to market 'someday.'

The glasses project, codenamed N107, was never made public, but Bloomberg reports that the plan was to build tech-equipped glasses that looked like any other pair but offered augmented reality features that could display information visible only to the person wearing the frames.

According to a new leak, Apple has pulled the plug on a project that allegedly hoped to produce lower-cost augmented reality glasses after the project seemingly couldn't meet executive expectations.

This project has reportedly been cancelled, after internal testing established that the device would not be market worthy.

Apple’s long and choppy journey toward releasing a commercially available set of AR glasses just hit another snag. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company has killed a second set of prototype smartglasses designed to connect directly to its Mac computers.

Apple has dropped its development of augmented reality glasses designed to pair with the Mac, reports Bloomberg ‘s Mark Gurman. The glasses were intended to look like regular glasses, but boasted AR capabilities.
