Google X director Babak Parviz founded and led both the Google Glass and contact lens projects at Google, but it appears he has now left the Mountain View corporation in favor of Amazon. This news comes shortly after just two months ago stepping aside to let former Old Navy and Gap marketing VP Ivy Ross take the Google Glass helm.

He predicts that the days of walking around seeing wearables on heads are still 15 years away. But if and when that happens, he likely won’t be at Google.
