Google is expanding AI’s role in everyday life with Android XR, a new platform designed for the Gemini era. It powers a range of wearable devices like headsets and smart glasses, enabling AI assistants to see from your perspective and provide hands-free help so you stay connected without using your hands.

Seamless Assistance with Gemini and Android XR

With Android XR and Gemini, your AI assistant understands what you’re looking at and can take action for you whether it’s navigating, messaging, or capturing photos. This creates a natural and immersive experience that keeps you engaged with the real and virtual world around you.

Partnerships Driving Innovation

Google is working with Samsung and Qualcomm to bring Android XR to life. Samsung’s upcoming Project Moohan headset, launching later this year, offers immersive “infinite screen” experiences enhanced by AI.

Smart Glasses: A New Way to Stay Connected

Google introduced new smart glasses powered by Android XR, equipped with cameras, microphones, speakers, and an optional in-lens display. Paired with Gemini, these glasses let you access apps and information without reaching for your phone.

Live Demo Highlights

In a live demonstration, Google showcased key features such as messaging, scheduling, navigation, hands-free photos, and live language translation with subtitles helping to break down communication barriers in real-time.

Vision for Ambient Computing

Android XR embodies Google’s vision of ambient computing, where AI blends seamlessly into your environment to support your daily life. Gemini serves as the powerful intelligence behind these devices, making AI assistants more helpful and responsive than ever.

Building Glasses You’ll Want to Wear

Google is working with eyewear brands like Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to create stylish smart glasses powered by Android XR. They’re also partnering with Samsung to expand Android XR from headsets to glasses, with developers able to build for the platform later this year.
