>There is no discernible Google VR/AR strategy other than - let's see what bubbles up from different dev groups and, when needed, react to market forces.

Clay Bavor's presentation at Google I/O[1] and SID Display Week[2] seems to outline their strategy concerning AR/VR pretty well.

>Some examples include Google Glass

Released in 2013 and pivoted to enterprise use. Now under the control of the Google hardware division.

>Tony Fadell of Nest who then ended up leaving Google altogether

Yes, he did leave Google, but only after being assigned to the roof.

>Google Cardboard (a side project by 2 smart Google France engineers for a conference)

A low cost VR solution developed in 2014 by two Googlers during their 20% innovation time off. I believe it's also the most widely used VR solution in the world.
