Google is trying out smart glasses again.At its Google I/O keynote address on Tuesday, Google showed off a product that was referred to simply as "Android XR glasses" in both the presentation and the accompanying blog post.

Android XR is still in the early stages, but I got to try a prototype pair at Google I/O. The hardware looks promising, and it should benefit from changing attitudes about smart glasses.

Google has dug back into its past and introduced its latest take on smart glasses during I/O 2025. Glasses with Android XR brings Gemini AI to smart glasses thanks to an expanded partnership between Google and Samsung.
