Android XR glasses audio won’t be audible to others, and Google’s demo showed us exactly why
Google has unveiled its first Android XR glasses, designed to ensure that audio is only audible to the wearer. The glasses will feature built-in speakers that keep responses private, as demonstrated during a live event where a personal reminder was accidentally broadcast. Future versions are expected to include visual displays, but the initial release will focus on audio interactions with the Gemini assistant.
- ▪The Android XR glasses will be produced in collaboration with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster.
- ▪They will include cameras, microphones, and speakers, similar to previous wearable technology from Meta.
- ▪Audio responses from the Gemini assistant will be played at low volumes to maintain privacy.
