TL;DR Summary

Google and Samsung preview audio-focused 'smart glasses' built on Android XR at I/O 2026, pairing with Android and iOS, featuring exterior cameras, a microphone, a speaker, and a Gemini-powered on-the-go AI, including real-time translations and notification summaries; the glasses lack a front-facing display and are designed to work within the Galaxy ecosystem and compete with Ray-Ban/Meta glasses. Separately, XReal revealed Project Aura, a lighter AR glasses prototype with a lens display and a 70-degree field of view powered by Snapdragon, with dev kits planned next year under the Catalyst Program; pricing isn’t announced and Aura’s current build includes a noticeable cable.
