Google's Android XR Smart Glasses: A Challenger to Apple and Meta

Google unveiled its Android XR smart glasses at I/O, featuring lightweight design, deep Gemini AI integration, and an optional in-lens display for information like turn-by-turn directions. Equipped with cameras, microphones, and speakers, they connect to smartphones for app access. Gemini AI uses the glasses' cameras to understand surroundings, providing translations and real-time information. Google plans collaborations with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster for stylish designs. This launch is seen as a challenge to Apple's upcoming smart glasses and Meta's Ray-Bans, intensifying the AR/VR market competition.
