Google will no longer sell Glass Enterprise smart glass, according to the company website. The decision marks the end of the most recognizable line of smart glasses, which first launched in 2013 for a whopping $1,500.
"Thank you for over a decade of innovation and partnership," read a message from Google. "As of March 15, 2023, we will no longer sell Glass Enterprise Edition. We will continue supporting Glass Enterprise Edition until September 15, 2023."
While Google pitched augmented reality (AR) glasses as a major innovation in consumer technology, it never gained mainstream popularity. The tech giant was more successful selling it to companies looking to use it for more specialized work purposes.
That pivot came in 2017, and an updated version of Glass Enterprise was released in 2019.
Existing units will continue working through September 15th. Then Google will no longer provide software updates.
What this means for the future of AR is unclear. No specific plans have been announced, but Google said it remains interested in the concept.

It's a tough time for the job market. Amid wider economic uncertainty, some analysts have said that businesses are at a “no-hire, no fire” standstill. At the same time, some sizeable layoffs have continued to pile up — raising worker anxieties across sectors. Some companies have pointed to rising operational costs due to U.S.'s new tariffs, while others have redirected money to artificial intelligence investments. Workers in the public sector have also been hit hard. Federal jobs were cut by the thousands earlier this year. And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
