Sources said, dozens of engineers and other employees of Google are participating in this project, Google declined to comment on this rumor.

For Google, the risk of this project is quite high, so far no virtual reality devices have been sold in large quantities. However, game makers and film producers are very interested in this area. At the same time, the Android system of smart watches is not very successful, the number of sales of the Android system on the watch is average.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the virtual reality version of the Android system is held by Clay Bavor and Jeremy Doig . Clay Bavor had previously been responsible for Google's Cardboard project. This is a cheap DIY tool that can perform the functions of expensive equipment. Since its release last summer, the number of downloads of this application has exceeded 1 million times.

Last year, Facebook bought an actual Oculus headset manufacturer for $ 2 billion, Oculus made much progress in the real market. Next, Samsung, Sony and Microsoft have released their own virtual reality devices.
