Google showed how Android XR glasses work in real life

At the I/O 2025 conference, Google presented a more detailed vision of how Android XR glasses will be used in everyday life — work on the device is ongoing.

Following the December announcement, the company revealed that all Android XR glasses will be equipped with a camera, microphones, and speakers, while the lens-integrated display, which privately shows useful information at the right moment, will be optional.

The glasses will work in conjunction with a smartphone, allowing users to access apps without taking the smartphone out of their pocket.

The Gemini system will be able to "see and hear what you see and hear," to "understand context, remember important details, and provide suggestions at the right time." The demonstration showed integration with Google Calendar, Maps, Messages, Photos, Tasks, and Translate.

Google is collaborating with brands and partners to bring this technology to life, including Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. The goal is stylish glasses, as "they can only be truly useful if you want to wear them all day."

Additionally, Google is officially expanding its partnership with Samsung — from XR headsets to Android XR glasses. The companies are jointly developing a software and hardware platform that will enable other market participants to create high-quality glasses. Developers will be able to start creating apps for this platform as early as this year.

Google is also continuing its collaboration with XREAL on a second Android XR device after the Samsung project called Project Moohan, which is still expected to launch this year. The new device will be portable and plug-in, resembling bulky sunglasses in appearance, and will allow running favorite Android apps, including those specifically designed for XR.

The device will be released in a developer version — so that experimentation and creation of custom solutions can take place.
