Google partners with five brands on Android XR glasses

Google is partnering with Samsung, Xreal, and fashion brands like Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to develop Android XR smart glasses. These collaborations aim to expand the availability of XR devices. Samsung's prototype glasses, already showcased, will likely feature cameras and displays. Xreal's "Project Aura" glasses are expected to resemble their existing models. Warby Parker and Gentle Monster will focus on integrating XR technology into their existing eyewear designs. Kering Eyewear is also joining the initiative, with all five brands planning to release their smart glasses in the coming years. The move mirrors Google's Android strategy for smartphones, expanding the XR ecosystem.
