The company tells (http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2014/06/02/forget-vacuum-cleaners-dyson-prototyped-google-glass-like-ar-headset/) The Next Web that it had been developing a Google Glass (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/)-like augmented reality headset, the Halo, between 2001 and 2004. The wearable projected visual cues, took voice commands and even sported a virtual keyboard that let you type on any flat surface. Dyson had a prototype, but ultimately canned the design to focus on both its core products and US expansion plans.
