This is a very important article on how Samsung and Google are poised to enter the smart glasses market.

Samsung Electronics Co. and Google LLC are strengthening their long-standing alliance as the two tech firms are jointly working to develop new smart glasses, slated for release next year.

The two companies unveiled images of the smart glasses under development at the New York Google Campus in December 2024. At this event, Google said its Android XR platform will be installed in a Samsung headset to take on larger headset rivals such as Meta Platforms Inc. and Apple Inc.

Android XR, jointly developed with Samsung, is designed to be an open, unified platform for XR headsets and glasses.

The smart glasses with Android XR, on which Samsung and Google are working, will put the power of Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, one tap away, providing helpful information for users like directions, translations, or message summaries without having to reach for a phone, sources said.
