Google launches Android XR and Project Moohan to enhance mixed reality experiences

Google has officially launched Android XR and Project Moohan, a mixed reality headset aimed at competing with Apple's Vision Pro. The focus is on creating a unified platform for virtual and augmented reality experiences across various devices. While the headset is notable, excitement is growing around the potential for Android XR in smart glasses. Google aims to leverage its AI and services to enhance everyday experiences through augmented reality, moving beyond traditional computing. The development of smart glasses is still in progress, with hardware needing improvements. The recent introduction of Xreal Air 2 Ultra shows promise, but broader advancements are necessary for smart glasses to become a viable alternative to smartphones.
