Bose is giving up on its augmented undividedness project, two years supervenient debuting the idea at SXSW. As inceptive reported by Protocol, execs alive on AR at the visitor have portside or were laid off; Bose's ally were told their apps would stop alive in the coming weeks; and the visitor temporized mentions of AR from its website in hijack to closing its public AR SDK in April. The main seconder of AR at the company, SVP John Gordon, moreover portside meanest summer.

"Bose AR didn't become what we envisioned," a Bose spokesperson told Protocol.
