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

Fonts and typography are more emphasized, and Android 16 has more dynamic color themes, giving you more control over the operating system's look, even in supported apps. Much of it is functional too—Google's letting you squeeze more settings into the Quick Settings drawer, so you can quickly access tools like the Flashlight or Do Not Disturb mode.

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.
