LG is working on Google Glass-style augmented reality headsets and smartwatches, according to Korean press reports.
An anonymous source connected to the company told the Korean Times the company intends to compete against similar products believed to be under development by Google, Samsung and Apple.
“It is one major part of many currently non-commercialized products under development by LG Electronics,” said the source.
“The company has spared no efforts to invest in products that it believes are must-haves to stay ahead technology wise in the market, whatever the situation may be.”
It is unclear at this point whether the new devices will run Mozilla’s Firefox OS or Google Android.
