I Waited One Hour to Try Google’s Android XR Smart Glasses and Only Had 90 Seconds With Them

"Despite hours of prep at Google I/O, trying out the Android XR smart glasses for just 90 seconds during their demo left me underwhelmed. The rushed demonstration compared them unfavorably to Meta’s $10,000 Orion concept, with its advanced waveguide lenses and holographic gaming capabilities. While the glasses felt bulky and basic in terms of hardware, their single-screen design could be a strength if paired with smarter software."
