Android is gearing up for an XR headset launch – at least, that's according to leaked Play Store code which suggests that VR, AR, and MR tech like headsets and glasses will be able to download (or in some cases not download) Play Store apps directly.
Android Authority discovered two XR references hidden in the code for the current version (43.3.32-31) of the Google Play Store app. The first is an icon that would appear next to a device name when the user is choosing where to install an app; rather than being the phone, Chromebook or tablet icons we’re used to, this icon looks like a pair of goggles – that is, rather like a VR headset.
