Google shows off Android audio glasses designed by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker

Google previewed Gemini-powered Android XR smart glasses at I/O 2026, built with Samsung and Qualcomm and styled by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker.

The screenless glasses use cameras and audio to support navigation, messaging, translation, photo editing, and some app tasks.

The move shows Google’s push into AI wearables, aiming to compete with Meta’s glasses with a broader assistant experience and cross-platform support.
