The Google I/O Opening Conference was marked by two new technologies: artificial intelligence and augmented reality; And the latter has the potential to end your smartphone.
That is why the next Android XR launch can be the most important in the history of the platform. It is very possible that in the future Smartphones are replaced by wearable devicesand that is where the new system will shine.
But a system for augmented reality is of no use, if there are no devices that use it. Therefore, the announcement of the collaboration between Xreal and Google It can be the most important of Google I/O, because it shows that there is third parties in technology.
The XREAL PROJECT AURA They are the first smart glasses based on Android XR, and the second device used by the operating system; The first is Project Moohan by Samsung, an augmented reality viewer designed to be used inside.
But Xreal’s glasses are different: they are designed to serve as a day to dayin any location and situation. Using Gemini and integrated cameras, they will be able to answer questions about our environment.

This announcement is also important for what it represents for the market. Xreal is already a manufacturer established in the smart glasses sector, with the Xreal One considered the best in the market by its Light design despite integrated hardware.
The Xreal Project Aura are similar to the Xreal One, with a Integrated Microoled Screen in each lens that are the equivalent of being in front of a TV. The big difference is that these glasses do not need to be connected to another device.
The Xreal One only showed the image of a device connected by USB-C, such as a mobile or a tablet. But the new model has a Qualcomm and Android XR Integrated processorto run apps locally.
Speaking of apps, Google has taken advantage of the announcement of this collaboration to clarify that developers can create Versions of your apps For augmented reality viewers, capable of running in this type of smart glasses.
Another big difference is obvious: the presence of cameras on the front Of the glasses, which will allow Gemini to obtain information from the environment to help us. Such as to give us instructions to put a washing machine or indications on the street.
That Xreal has decided to make the leap to Android XR is a support for the Google systemand an indicator that we can be before the beginning of something big. The company will share more details, such as price and availability, in the second half of the year.
