Google's Android XR Glasses: A Mission: Impossible Moment

At Google I/O, I briefly tested prototype Android XR glasses, a collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm. Looking like regular glasses, they pack a microphone, speaker, camera, and sensors, integrating Gemini AI. The glasses display time, weather, allow photo previews, and offer voice-controlled access to Gemini for information retrieval and intuitive Google Maps navigation. While battery life and pricing remain unknown, the seamless integration and information display were impressive, hinting at a potential breakthrough in smart glasses technology.
