TL;DR
- Android XR is about to take off, and Google’s been preparing three types of smart glasses, for launch over the next couple years.
- As it gets ready for that hardware, we’re taking a look at the companion software that will exist on the phone side.
- Features in development include an audio-only mode, conversation detection to mute notifications, and privacy-protecting camera tools.
At CES this year, smart glasses were everywhere, and if you haven’t tried a pair on yet, you’ll probably have the chance to soon. But for all the great progress we’re seeing across all things XR, we’re easily most excited about what’s coming next from Google. As we get ready to experience all the flavors of Google’s latest attempt at making smart glasses work, we’re getting an early peek at the software that may make this all possible.
