Google I/O is currently underway, and after sitting through a monotonous an exciting keynote address, I got the chance to demo some upcoming Android XR glasses and prototypes. Samsung and Xreal are seemingly two of the most dedicated players in the space, and I got to try both Xreal's glasses and the latest Google prototype, which the Samsung glasses are no doubt based on, giving us a look at how Android XR will span different types of eyewear.
Samsung was set to launch Android XR hardware last year with the Galaxy XR, but it's a large, bulky device you wouldn't want to wear around. This time around, the focus is on more compact glasses for everyday wear. These are the ones I got to play with, and while I can't wait for audio-only glasses to come around, I'm more excited about what Samsung and Xreal have in store when it comes to display glasses.
