Google's Putting It All on Glasses Next Year: My Demos With Project Aura and More

Project Aura glasses will run Android XR apps, support Gemini AI, and offer display and non-display models sold through eyewear partners, launching in 2026.

  • Next year, Google and Xreal will release Project Aura, AI smart glasses sold through eyewear partners Warby Parker and Gentle Monster as a glasses-sized alternative to bulky headsets.
  • Pursuing partners and existing apps, Google set out Android XR plans with Gemini AI and hardware partners to avoid Google Glass mistakes and reduce fragmentation.
  • The hardware includes a pocketable processor puck with Qualcomm XR Gen 2 Plus chipset, three cameras for room and hand tracking, and Micro OLED / Micro LED displays with a 70-degree field of view.
  • The glasses will run full Android apps and support iOS via Gemini app, with a staggered rollout next year and non-display models possibly arriving first.
  • The announcement ramps up competition with Meta and Apple in AI and glasses while Google emphasizes privacy measures like visible recording indicators and sensor controls.
