- Back from the dead? Google (GOOG, GOOGL) seems to have resurrected its troubled Glass connected eyewear project, now called Project Aura, by hiring engineers and software developers from Amazon's Lab126 R&D unit.
- According to Business Insider, Aura will remain within Google rather than Alphabet to collaborate more closely with advanced technology efforts and develop other wearables.
- Google stopped selling the initial $1,500 version of Glass to consumers in January following waning interest, criticism over its price and privacy concerns.
