Google made plenty of announcements at the Android Show last week, but none captured my attention more than Android XR. The company formalized a roadmap I’ve been waiting for, designed to bring Android XR beyond clunky AR-style goggles into the world of something people actually want to wear.
Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset works well, and I enjoyed my time testing it, but there’s no way I’d want to wear a heavy headset for more than a few minutes at a time. It’s also expensive and limited to niche uses — it’s not a vehicle to bring Android XR into the mainstream.
