SAY HELLO TO ANDROID XR: A NEW GEMINI-FOCUSED OS FOR GLASSES AND HEADSETS

December 12, 2024 By Robby Payne View Comments

Remember back when Android was just for phones? That’s definitely not the case
any longer. Over the years, we’ve seen it expand to tablets, watches, TVs,
vehicles, potentially Chromebooks; and now, Google is taking Android to a whole
new dimension: extended reality (XR).

In a world increasingly focused on immersive experiences, Google has announced
Android XR, a new operating system designed specifically for XR headsets and
glasses. This isn’t just a minor update; it’s a major step forward that hopes to
help reshape how we interact with technology at a fundamental level.

Built in collaboration with Samsung, Android XR leverages Google’s extensive
work in AI, AR, and VR. This means we can expect a seamless blend of the digital
and physical worlds, with AI (Gemini) playing a central role. Think of it as
having the power of your smartphone, but in a hands-free, heads-up format.  


ANDROID XR HEADSETS

The first device running Android XR, codenamed Project Moohan, is a
Samsung-built headset set to launch next year. Imagine watching YouTube or
Google TV on a massive virtual screen, reliving memories in 3D with Google
Photos, or exploring the world with Google Maps’ Immersive View – all within a
headset.  

But it’s not just about entertainment. Android XR aims to boost productivity
too. Multiple virtual Chrome screens will make multitasking a breeze, and Circle
to Search lets you instantly find information about whatever you’re looking at
with a simple gesture. And the best part? Because it’s Android, your favorite
apps from Google Play will work seamlessly on these headsets right from day one.




GLASSES

Android XR isn’t just about headsets, though. Google is also working on smart
glasses powered by this new OS. These aren’t your clunky, awkward-looking AR
glasses we’ve seen up to this point. Instead, Google is showcasing stylish,
comfortable eyewear you’ll actually want to wear all day.  

With Android XR glasses, Gemini will be just a tap away. Need directions,
translations, or a quick summary of your messages? No need to pull out your
phone – the information will appear right in your line of sight or directly in
your ear.  

Google hopefully understands that a platform is only as strong as its ecosystem.
The good news is they’re actively encouraging developers to create apps and
games for Android XR, using familiar tools like ARCore, Android Studio, and
Unity. This open approach should lead to a diverse range of devices and
experiences, giving users more choices than ever before while not forcing
potential developers to jump through a whole new set of hoops to get
applications made for these types of devices.

From what we’re seeing so far, Android XR is poised to be a game-changing tech.
By combining the power of Android with cutting-edge AI and a focus on both
headsets and glasses, Google is laying the foundation for a truly immersive and
interconnected future. They’re also very wise in partnering with Samsung to kick
things off. But with this type of OS, we could see all sorts of hardware
partners emerge down the road. The future looks incredibly interesting in this
space for sure.
