Alphabet Inc’s Google is in reportedly in the final stages of acquiring AdHawk Microsystems Inc, a Canadian developer of eye-tracking technology, for $115 million, signaling a renewed push into headsets and smart glasses, according to sources familiar with the deal. Incidentally, Google is a pioneer of smart glasses technology, releasing a device called Google Glass more than a decade ago. Google launched several iterative versions of Google Glasses. In fact, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin were also spotted wearing Google Glasses on a few occasions. However, the gadget wasn’t never a big seller and Google finally discontinued it two years ago. Google is said to be now aiming for a resurgence in the smart glasses market, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence.
