Magic Leap and Google unveil Android XR glasses prototype
Magic Leap and Google just revealed a prototype for Android XR glasses at an event in Riyadh, showing off what could be the next big thing in smart eyewear.
The glasses combine Google's advanced microLED tech with Magic Leap's optics for crisp visuals—but they're not coming to stores yet.
For now, they're just demo models for other companies to build on.
The race for next-gen smart glasses is heating up
Magic Leap is teaming up closely with Google as an "AR ecosystem partner," and their work together is shaping the future of these products.
Google's VP of XR, Shahram Izadi, called out Magic Leap's key role in pushing XR ideas forward.
With Samsung also confirmed it is working with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker to build smart glasses that might challenge Meta, it's clear the race is on for sleeker designs and better displays in smart glasses.
