Google updates Project Astra and previews smart glasses prototype

Google has announced updates to its Project Astra and provided a preview of its smart glasses prototype. This follows the introduction of Gemini 2.0, which includes new AI agents and the ability for users to create their own. Project Astra, initially teased in May, aims to be a universal AI agent that assists with everyday tasks using a phone's camera and voice recognition. Although Astra was expected to launch by the end of 2023, it has been delayed to 2025. Google has begun testing Project Astra on prototype glasses, but no specific timeline for public release has been provided. The company is also exploring bringing Astra to other devices beyond phones and glasses.
