Intel's stylish glasses look more like a publicity play than a product launch, industry sources say
The chipmaker recently announced a new pair of smart glasses, Vaunt, with a slim profile unlike anything else on the market.
But while it may have generated some excitement in the press, Vaunt has vexed major players in the emerging augmented reality space. Sources told CNBC that the product appears to rely heavily on its aesthetics and a limited release -- it provided a prototype of the glasses to only one outlet, The Verge, which formed the basis for all subsequent news reports.
