So what specific information has led DigiTimes to believe that Apple has canceled work on the glasses project, its alleged “next big thing”? The publication connects the departure of Apple designer Avi Bar-Zeev in January to turmoil and the eventual termination of the whole glasses project. Earlier, Bar-Zeev was one of the key individuals involvded in shaping the Microsoft HoloLens glasses. The report goes on to claim that the glasses team was disbanded in May and the original members were transferred to other products.

At the end of the day, it seems that there is some trouble with the Apple Glasses project, but with only one report claiming that the whole project is terminated, it would be best to wait for more evidence before jumping into conclusions.
