The company said it chose to launch a headset first as it offers more immersion.
We’re also guessing that a headset might be less of a risk than smart glasses.

Update: December 13, 2024 (3:10 AM ET): Thanks to demos of a prototype provided by Google to some publications, we now have more details about what Google is planning for Android XR-powered glasses.

Wired notes that Google’s prototype smart glasses are built on the back of Project Astra and that the bulk of the processing is handled on a connected smartphone. The prototype glasses also have a thick frame and a built-in camera with an LED light. They also promise all-day battery life.
