At Google's I/O 2026 conference, the company showcased prototype AI-powered glasses featuring an in-lens display that overlays information like weather, directions, and live translation onto the real world. These Android XR glasses, developed with partners like Warby Parker and Samsung, will support both iOS and Android phones and offer hands-free interaction with Google's Gemini AI.

Google plans to expand testing later this year, with an audio-only version launching this fall as a simpler alternative.
