Aura Glasses Bring Android XR to a Lightweight, App-Rich Experience
Google and Xreal's Project Aura are compact XR smart glasses that run Android XR with a neck-worn compute puck, delivering a wide 70-degree spatial field and support for multiple floating app windows; hand tracking works for pinching and dragging but eye tracking is missing, and a few glitches remain. Demos included a Gemini-powered object look-up and a Demeo gaming scenario, plus an external monitor mode via USB-C; while the hardware looks polished for glasses, the experience isn't as immersive as a headset and pricing/release details are still TBA, with a global launch planned later this year.
