Google is making a renewed push into the smart glasses market with the upcoming Android XR glasses, leveraging its Gemini AI to enhance user experience. During the I/O 2025 developer conference, Google showcased the capabilities of these glasses, highlighting features such as live language translation. The Android XR glasses can connect to a smartphone to access apps and come equipped with speakers. An optional in-lens display will allow users to view information privately.
Google is partnering with eyewear brands such as Warby Parker and Gentle Monster, focusing on creating stylish and wearable designs. These collaborations aim to move away from the bulky, tech-heavy aesthetic often associated with earlier smart glasses models. This partnership hints that Google is taking style a lot more seriously this time around. Warby Parker is well known as a direct-to-consumer eyewear brand that makes it easy to get trendy glasses at a relatively accessible price. Meanwhile, Gentle Monster is currently one of the buzziest eyewear brands that isn’t owned by EssilorLuxottica. The Korean brand is popular among Gen Z, thanks in part to its edgy silhouettes and the fact that Gentle Monster is favored by fashion-forward celebrities like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, and Billie Eilish. Partnering with both brands seems to hint that Android XR is aimed at both versatile, everyday glasses as well as bolder, trendsetting options.
The glasses integrate Google’s Gemini AI assistant, enabling users to interact with their surroundings and access information hands-free. Google is working with Xreal and Qualcomm on Project Aura, an optical see-through XR device, to integrate Android XR software. Google also plans to integrate Project Astra to allow users to talk back and forth with Search about what they see in real time with their camera. The tech giant also rolled out AI Mode to Google Search for every U.S. user in order to answer your question before showing the traditional list of links.
