Android XR will also support glasses for all-day help in the future.

The following report is a blog post by Google, published on December 12th:

We started Android over a decade ago with a simple idea: transform computing for everyone. Android powers more than just phones — it’s on tablets, watches, TVs, cars and more.

Now, we’re taking the next step into the future. Advancements in AI are making interacting with computers more natural and conversational. This inflection point enables new extended reality (XR) devices, like headsets and glasses, to understand your intent and the world around you, helping you get things done in entirely new ways.

Bringing Android To XR

Today, we’re introducing Android XR, a new operating system built for this next generation of computing. Created in collaboration with Samsung, Android XR combines years of investment in AI, AR and VR to bring helpful experiences to headsets and glasses.

We’re working to create a vibrant ecosystem of developers and device makers for Android XR, building on the foundation that brought Android to billions. Today’s release is a preview for developers, and by supporting tools like ARCore, Android Studio, Jetpack Compose, Unity, and OpenXR from the beginning, developers can easily start building apps and games for upcoming Android XR devices. For Qualcomm partners like Lynx, Sony and XREAL, we are opening a path for the development of a wide array of Android XR devices to meet the diverse needs of people and businesses. And, we are continuing to collaborate with Magic Leap on XR technology and future products with AR and AI.

Blending Technology With Everyday Life, With Help From AI

Android XR will first launch on headsets that transform how you watch, work and explore. The first device, code named Project Moohan and built by Samsung, will be available for purchase next year.

With headsets, you can effortlessly switch between being fully immersed in a virtual environment and staying present in the real world. You can fill the space around you with apps and content, and with Gemini, our AI assistant, you can even have conversations about what you’re seeing or control your device. Gemini can understand your intent, helping you plan, research topics and guide you through tasks.

We’re also reimagining some of your favorite Google apps for headsets. You can watch YouTube and Google TV on a virtual big screen, or relive your cherished memories with Google Photos in 3D. You’ll be able to explore the world in new ways with Google Maps, soaring above cities and landmarks in Immersive View. And with Chrome, multiple virtual screens will let you multitask with ease. You can even use Circle to Search to quickly find information on whatever’s in front of you, with just a simple gesture.

Plus, because it’s Android, your favorite mobile and tablet apps from Google Play will work right out of the box, with even more apps, games and immersive content made for XR arriving next year.

Android XR will also support glasses for all-day help in the future. We want there to be lots of choices of stylish, comfortable glasses you’ll love to wear every day and that work seamlessly with your other Android devices. Glasses with Android XR will put the power of Gemini one tap away, providing helpful information right when you need it — like directions, translations or message summaries without reaching for your phone. It’s all within your line of sight, or directly in your ear.

As we shared yesterday, we’ll soon begin real-world testing of prototype glasses running Android XR with a small group of users. This will help us create helpful products and ensure we’re building in a way that respects privacy for you and those around you.

Building The XR Ecosystem

Android XR is designed to be an open, unified platform for XR headsets and glasses. For users, this means more choice of devices and access to apps they already know and love. For developers, it’s a unified platform with opportunities to build experiences for a wide range of devices using familiar Android tools and frameworks.

We’re inviting developers, device makers and creators everywhere to join us in shaping this next evolution of computing. If you’re a developer, check out the Android Developers Blog to get started. For everyone else, stay tuned for updates on device availability next year and learn more about Android XR on our website.


AUTHOR COMMENTARY

Augmented and virtual reality are the next evolution in digital opiates to vegetate on, to keep the masses distracted and deceived with never ending bread and circuses. You know these things are just going to be giant excuses to advertise 24/7 once broader adoption of AR becomes a thing.

Big-tech so far has tried unsuccessfully to really generate mass adoption of augmented reality, but make no mistake, they will eventually get the masses to accept it one way or another. The real goal is to get this stuff implanted directly into people; but before that can occur the masses must warm up to the idea of putting a “computer” on their faces. We’ve already seen the detrimental effects smart phones have had on society, now imagine what it will be like with all these fools wearing glasses and goggles on constantly?

SEE:

Revelation 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
