Android XR Glasses Unveiled at Google I/O 2025

Glasses with Android XR are lightweight and designed for all-day wear, even though they're packed with technology

A camera and microphones give Gemini the ability to see and hear the world

Speakers let you listen to the AI, play music, or take calls

And an optional in-lens display privately shows you helpful information just when you need it

These glasses work with your phone, giving you access to your apps while keeping your hands free

All this makes glasses a natural form factor for AI, bringing the power of Gemini right to where you are

So, unlike Clark Kent, you can get superpowers when you put your glasses on

Okay, who's up for seeing an early demo of Android XR glasses

Let's see how they work in the most hectic environment possible right now, backstage at IO

Our very own superwoman, Nishta, is back there to show us how these glasses work for real

Let me send her a text now, and let's get started. Hey, everyone

right now you should be seeing exactly what I'm seeing through the lens of my Android XR glasses

like my delicious coffee over here and that text from Shram that just came in. Let's see what he

said. All right, it's definitely showtime, so I'm going to launch Gemini and get us going

Send Shram a text that I'm getting started and silence my notifications, please

Okay, I've sent that message to him and muted all your notifications. Perfect

Oh, hey, Mishda. Hey, Dieter. I see the light's on on your glasses, so I think it's safe to say that we're live right now

Yes, we're officially on with the I.O. crew. Hey, everybody. It is pretty great to see I.O. from this angle

Mishda you promised me I could get my own pair of Android XR glasses if I helped out back here So what do you say Of course Let get coffee after this and I bring you those glasses awesome we see you then good luck thank you as you all can see there a ton going on backstage and

is that pro basketball player yannis wearing our glasses i love it just please out both of my hands

for double high fives nice let me keep showing you guys what these glasses can do i've been curious

about this photo wall all day. Like what band is this and how are they connected to this place

Shoreline Amphitheater, which are often seen as homecoming shows for the band. No way! Can you show me a photo of one of their performances here

Sure. Here's one. Want me to play one of their songs? I'd love that. I can listen while I make my way to the stage

Great. Here's Under the Aurora by Counting Crows. Okay, who's ready to see these glasses? Here comes Mr

Welcome, Mr. Hey, everyone. Thanks for that star-studded behind-the-scenes look. By the way, do you want to book that coffee with Dieter now

Yes. The crew actually gave me some awesome coffee backstage, so let me try something fun

Gemini, what was the name of the coffee shop on the cup I had earlier

Hmm, that might have been Bloomsgiving. From what I can tell, it's a vibrant coffee shop on Castro Street

Great memory. Can you show me the photos of that cafe

I want to check out the vibes. Definitely. Do these photos from maps help

Oh, I know that spot. It's a flower shop as well as a coffee shop, but it is downtown

Okay. Gemini, show me what it would take to walk here. Getting those directions now

It take you about an hour Okay I can get some steps in and these heads directions and a full 3D map should make it super easy

Go ahead and send Dieter an invite for that cafe and get coffee at 3 p.m. today

I'll send out that invite now. Enjoy the coffee. As you saw, Gemini helped Nishta search what she sees

remember details like the coffee cup, book an event, even navigate, all without taking her phone out of her pocket

I'm even wearing the glasses right now too. They're my personal teleprompter

and I have prescription lenses so I can see you all. Okay, Nishta, this is a big moment for glasses

Let's capture it. Yes, get ready for a quick photo everyone and let's bring out our star

All right All right, Gemini take a photo for me and add it to my favorite

that looks amazing I'm completely starstruck

okay one last thing Sundar showed what's possible with live chat translation earlier

let's see what that's like on glasses This is a very risky demo, but we're going to give it a shot

Nishter and I are going to speak to each other in our mother tongues

Nishter's going to speak Hindi. I'm going to speak Farsi very poorly

And you'll see the feed from both of our glasses back here

And so you can all follow along. Thank you, Mixter, for that awesome tour of Android XR glasses

We're so excited about the possibilities when you have an incredibly helpful AI assistant by your side with these Android XR devices

But that's not all. We're taking our partnership with Samsung to the next level by extending Android XR beyond headsets to glasses

We're creating the software and reference hardware platform to enable the ecosystem to build great glasses alongside us

Our glasses prototypes are already being used by trusted testers, and you'll be able to start developing for glasses later this year

Now, we know that these need to be stylish glasses that you'll want to wear all day

That's why I'm excited to announce today That Gentle Monster and Warby Parker

Will be the first eyewear partners to build glasses with Android XR
