The company said that the Glass project would not be scrapped, with
development continuing towards the creation of a viable consumer
product. The company did not indicate, however, when its next version
would be made available.
"January 19 will be the last day to get the Glass Explorer Edition. In the meantime, we're continuing to build for the future, and you'll start to see future versions of Glass when they're ready," the company said.
Google will also shut down the Explorer programme, which produced the first commercial version of Glass within Google X, the company's special projects wing.
The Glass project will now have its own division, headed by Ivy Ross, its current manager, 'The Times' reported.
Ross and the Glass team will report to Tony Fadell, founder and chief executive of smart thermostat maker Nest Labs, which was acquired by Google a year ago.
Although Google Glass won't be available to individuals after January 19, businesses and developers will still be able to purchase the product.
