TL;DR

• Google and Magic Leap showed a new Android XR glasses prototype at the FII event in Riyadh.
• The demo builds on earlier versions, such as Google Martha, showing Gemini identifying objects and offering real-time assistance.
• Magic Leap has extended its partnership with Google by three years and will act as an AR ecosystem partner, rather than a hardware maker.

It’s only been a week since Samsung kicked off the Android XR era with its Galaxy XR headset, but Google’s already looking beyond bulky headsets to something much lighter. At the Future Investment Initiative (FII) event in Riyadh, Google and Magic Leap showed off a new Android XR glasses prototype — the first time we’ve seen Google concept glasses on stage since I/O in the summer.

As reported by Android Central, the two companies also confirmed they’ve extended their partnership for another three years. Magic Leap first teamed up with Google in 2024, combining its optics and manufacturing know-how with Google’s AI and display technology.
