Amazon has proven to be one of the most unpredictable companies in the world lately. Frombashing tablets with its e-readers, to launching tablets, to claiming it wouldn’t launch a phone, to actually launching one, there seems to be no limit to the scope Amazon plans to reach lately. The only frontier we haven’t heard Amazon working on is wearables, but that could change very soon.
You may not recognize the name Babak Parviz on the street, but if we told you he’s one of the project leaders of Google Glass, then things start to ring a bell. Parviz is also famous for leading another Google X project that plans to give you smarter contact lenses, but it seems Google will need to find another project leader, as Parviz has just announced that he’s headed for Amazon.
The reasons for Parviz’s departure are not yet clear, but it’s easy to assume that he’ll be part of Amazon’s Lab126. Amazon products like the Kindle, Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire Phone were all born in this lab, so it’ll be interesting to see what you’ll be buying with your eyes next.
