It's no secret that Google Glass, the Mountain View-based company's first wearable, didn't become a success. But that hasn't led Google to scrap the augmented reality project. On the contrary, the company has ramped up its wearable efforts with multiple headsets and apparently plans to move beyond glass. These headsets are targeted for release next year. Sources for The Information say that Google is working on three next-generation head-mounted devices. Interestingly, one of them doesn't have a screen at all, the report added. It's an audio-focused model meant for the sport crowd. It sounds like Motorola's Hint, a Bluetooth headset, though details are scarce at the moment beyond the use of bone conduction to deliver audio.
