Here's what it's like to cook, explore, and navigate with Gemini on Android XR smart glasses
TL;DR Google showcased new features for Gemini on Android XR devices during I/O 2025, including immersive demos using smart glasses and VR headsets. Smart glasses equipped with a camera, a mic, a speaker, and an optional in-lens display can accomplish voice-powered tasks like navigation, appointments, and translation. Google I/O 2025 has been very eventful, especially for AI fans, as Google's AI efforts with Gemini took center stage. Google also announced new hardware partners for Android XR, giving us a glimpse of XREAL's Project Aura smart glasses. In the intersection of the two lies Gemini on Android XR, and at I/O 2025, Google is sharing new demos of how you can use Gemini within Android XR. The first is the demo of Gemini on Android XR headsets. On these, you can ask Gemini to show you a place, and you will get visually transported to a 3D rendering. You can pinch and zoom in (depending on your headset hardware) to explore the area. Following up on the conversation, you can ask Gemini to 'show you immersive videos' in natural language to contextually search YouTube for immersive videos. Gemini can also accept chained commands, pulling up the web browser on the side for further searching. For Gemini on Android XR smart glasses, Google is touting how you can access your apps without pulling out your phone from your pocket. Android XR smart glasses will come with a camera, microphone, speaker, and an optional in-lens display, which helps Gemini to see and hear what you do, and provide helpful information privately. One of Google's demos for Gemini on Android XR smart glasses shows a user chopping away vegetables, while the user commands Gemini to make a Calendar appointment, followed up with a Task command — all with natural language voice commands, and with carried over context. Another demo shows a user commanding Gemini on Android XR smart glasses to search for a specific cuisine nearby. Gemini queries Google Maps, presents the results, and overlays a Google Maps walking route on the user's command on the optional in-lens display, making it significantly easier to walk over to the location. Other Android XR demos show how messaging works on the platform, how users can click photos and mark them as favorites, and how smart glasses can help add subtitles to your life with real-time translation. Alongside the demos, Google is also announcing Developer Preview 2 of the Android XR SDK to help developers test their differentiated apps for Android XR with 3D content. Further, the Google Play Store is also getting ready for Android XR. It will list supported 2D Android apps on the Android XR Play Store when it launches later this year. Got a tip? Talk to us!
