• Google has confirmed that smart glasses powered by the Android XR platform would be coming “later.”
• 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.

Google has just announced its Android XR platform, and the first product will be a Samsung-designed headset called “Project Moohan.” What about smart glasses, though?

Google told a media briefing that glasses powered by the Android XR platform would be coming later, but didn’t reveal any more details regarding availability. The company also showed off a pair of black prototype glasses in several videos. The clip below shows a woman getting instructions from Gemini on how to hang shelves. The woman was also able to ask Gemini where she left a level tool mentioned in the chatbot’s instructions, with the chatbot noting that it was “on the console next to you.”
