Picture this: you’re wearing a normal-looking pair of glasses, but they give you the ability to quickly summarize a book, translate between languages or remember where you left your keys. In a live demo of unreleased technology, computer scientist Shahram Izadi unveils Google’s new Android XR platform, which aims to give users the power of AI via smart glasses and headsets. He’s joined onstage by two colleagues, giving a glimpse of the future of “extended reality” (XR) devices — smart, seamless and right before your eyes.
