Google unveils Android XR for smart glasses and headsets

Google has introduced Android XR, a new mixed reality operating system for smart glasses and headsets. This marks a significant shift from its earlier attempt with Google Glass, which was not well received. Android XR aims to enhance user interaction through advanced AI features. The first consumer product using Android XR will be Samsung's Project Moohan headset, set to launch in 2025. This headset will support both augmented and virtual reality, showcasing the capabilities of the new platform. It will allow users to interact with their environment using natural language. Google emphasizes the importance of its Gemini AI, which enables seamless communication and contextual understanding. This technology aims to create a more intuitive user experience, distinguishing Android XR from previous attempts in the augmented reality space.
