Intel Jumps Into the Smart Glasses Game and Then Exits Quickly

[DooKey]

Just a few months ago Intel decided to put their New Devices Group on the development of smart glasses called Vaunt. All seemed right in the world since no one else has really come out with anything worth a darn in the smart glasses market and Intel with their huge bank account might be able to get it right this time. However, in an amazing turn around Intel has dropped the Vaunt smart glasses project like a hot potato. It was nice to meet you Vaunt. RIP.

A few months after their flashy online debut, the Vaunt smart glasses are dead, the chipmaker has confirmed. Some things, it seems, are just too beautiful to live - or receive sufficient investment from their parent company.

Most likely because people don't want to always be wearing that crap on their face. The best bet would be to incorporate technology into contact lens because with the advancements in lasik and eye surgery most people won't be wearing glasses at all for long.
