Google launches Android XR to drive mainstream adoption of smart glasses and mixed reality

Google's Android President Sameer Samat announced the launch of Android XR, a new software platform for mixed reality devices, during a recent interview. This initiative, developed with Samsung and Qualcomm, aims to make smart glasses and headsets more mainstream. Samsung is set to release the first device, a headset called Project Moohan, next year. Google is also testing prototype smart glasses to gather user feedback. Both companies are encouraging developers to create custom applications for this new technology. Advancements in artificial intelligence are expected to enhance user experiences with these devices. Google aims to address privacy concerns with special controls for head-worn devices, acknowledging the need for careful management of personal data.
