Google unveils user interface for new Android XR operating system

Google has introduced Android XR, a new operating system tailored for XR headsets and AR smart glasses. Screenshots from the Android XR emulator reveal its user interface, including the home screen and Quick Settings panel. The home screen features two pages: one for pinned apps and system shortcuts, and another for the full app list. The Quick Settings panel includes standard toggles and XR-specific options like Boundary and Passthrough. The emulator shows that apps like the Google Play Store are adapting for XR, filtering for compatible applications. Gboard has also been optimized for XR, although its appearance may vary in actual use.
