Google finally addressed Android XR hardware, saying at I/O 2025 that Gemini AI smart glasses are coming soon.

As Google explained, Gemini on these devices can act as an assistant (or guide) that shares your vantage point and can help you when you start talking. Since you don’t have to press buttons on the glasses or pull out your smartphone, you won’t have to stop whatever you're doing, whether it’s in the real or virtual world.

Google has launched significant updates to its Gemini app, enhancing AI interaction with features like Gemini Live for real-time sharing, Imagen 4 for image generation, and Veo 3 for video creation. The updates aim to create a more personalised and immersive experience across platforms.

At Google I/O 2025, the company shared more about how Android XR will be integrated into the smart glasses form factor, including practical Gemini features.
