Google and Xreal unveiled a new Android XR device called Project Aura during the Google I/O developer conference, marking the second official device on this platform. Unlike Samsung's Project Moohan, which features an XR headset similar to Apple's Vision Pro, Project Aura is a pair of immersive smart glasses with an optical see-through design. They incorporate advanced features, including built-in Gemini and are powered by a Qualcomm chipset. As development begins, the creators expect developers to start building applications ahead of the consumer launch.
The Google smart glasses era is back, sort of. Today, Google and Xreal announced a strategic partnership for a new Android XR device called Project Aura at the Google I/O developer conference.
Xreal's glasses, like the Xreal One, are like embedding two mini TVs into what looks like a regular - if a bit chunky - pair of sunglasses.
That hints at a hardware evolution compared to Xreal's current devices. Project Aura will run a Qualcomm chipset optimized for XR, though we don't know exactly which one.
