Google demos Android XR glasses at I/O with live language translation

Google has dug back into its past and introduced its latest take on smart glasses during I/O 2025.

These smart glasses can sync with a smartphone to access apps, and they're equipped with speakers and an optional in-lens display for privately viewing information. Shahram Izadi and Nishtha Bhatia spoke Farsi and Hindi to each other as the XR frames provided real-time translation into English. In addition to that demo, Bhatia also showcased how the Gemini assistant could work with the XR glasses, asking it questions about images she was seeing backstage at the theater and calling up information about the cafe where she got coffee before the show.
