Google demoed the first pair of Android XR glasses, and a new type of live demo slip-up resulted in some private conversations echoing across Mountain View. That, right there, is why the speakers on Google\u2019s Android XR glasses won\u2019t be audible to anyone but you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first pairs of Android XR glasses will come from two brands in collaboration with Google: Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. The spec sheets between the two are essentially identical, barring any design differences \u2013 of which there are several.<\/p>\n

Android XR glasses, in their current form, will carry cameras, mics, and speakers. It echoes what Ray-Ban and Meta have done for the first few generational releases. It\u2019s simple, yet effective for a Gemini-founded experience. The user experience goes like this: summon Gemini via voice or touch, interact and\/or look at the thing you want to ask questions about.<\/p>\n

When Gemini answers, it won\u2019t display on any in-lens display, because Google isn\u2019t there quite yet. That\u2019s coming later.<\/p>\n

Any response from Gemini will be heard only through the built-in speakers on the Android XR glasses, and Google assured users that \u201cunder normal use\u2026 Gemini is going to privately be talking to us.\u201d Meta has done this with wearables since releasing its VR headsets and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, as long as volumes are kept at certain levels. At those clear-to-you volumes, the audio is imperceptible to those around you.<\/p>\n

You can imagine why, but during a heartwarming, genuine interaction with Gemini during the live demo, the digital assistant blurted out a personal reminder for Google product manager, Nishtha Bhatia, to complete her daily affirmations.<\/p>\n
