- Wired has tried out a pair of prototype Google Android XR smart glasses.
- The glasses require a paired smartphone to handle most of the processing.
- It sounds like you could get Android XR glasses with and without displays, including monocular screens.
Google just announced Android XR, with a Samsung-produced headset being the first product to run the new platform. The company also confirmed that smart glasses were coming later, and we now have a better idea of how these glasses will work.
Wired was able to go hands-on with a pair of prototype glasses running Android XR. The outlet confirmed that several different types of smart glasses were shown off, such as conventional spectacles and sunglasses. You could also get prescription lenses for them, as you’d expect.
