Google completed the acquisition of North, a Canadian augmented reality wearables company. "We’re building towards a future where helpfulness is all around you, where all your devices just work together and technology fades into the background. North’s technical expertise will help as we continue to invest in our hardware efforts and ambient computing future. We're excited to welcome our new colleagues, and committed to the growing global tech community of Kitchener-Waterloo," Rick Osterloh, Google Senior Vice President.
