Google's AI Glasses: Dual Models Coming Soon!
19 May
Summary
- Google is developing two distinct Android XR smart glasses models.
- One model lacks a display, while the other features an in-glass display.
- Both models will run on Android XR, Google's smart glass operating system.
Google is anticipated to reveal significant updates regarding its upcoming smart glasses at the Google I/O 2026 event. The company is actively developing multiple models of its Android XR smart glasses, diverging from the single concept shown previously.
One of the new models is designed without a display, focusing on AI integration with Gemini and featuring a camera, speakers, and microphone. This model has been compared to existing smart glasses that offer audio and camera functionalities but no visual interface.
The second model notably includes an in-glass display. This feature will provide users with visual cues, such as real-time captions for translations and navigation directions, enhancing augmented reality experiences.
Both smart glass iterations will operate on Android XR, the operating system that debuted with the Samsung Galaxy XR headset. Google has confirmed the no-display model's launch for this year, offering a preview at I/O 2026. The release timeline for the display-equipped model remains undisclosed, leaving many to wonder if more details will emerge at the upcoming event.
