Google still doesn’t have much to show for Android XR

When Google presented Android XR last yearseemed to be a clear answer Apple’s Vision Pro: AR, VR and smart glasses were a plan for a real mixed reality platform that can easily hop easily Methane Ray-Prohibitions. Google I / O 2025 announced a second developer preview for Google, Google, Android XR, and it showed a little more about how to work in headphones and clever glasses.
