[00:00:01]Google has unveiled its return to smart glasses at IO 2026. The company previewed Android XR glasses built with Samsung, styled by Warby Parker, and powered by Gemini.

[00:00:14]The new Android XR glasses pair with your phone over Android or iOS and run Gemini through over-ear speakers.

[00:00:21]Two formats are in the works. Audio-only frames that whisper answers into your ear and display glasses that overlay information on the lens. A "Hey Google" or a tap on the frame wakes Gemini. From there, it can identify what you're looking at, give turn-by-turn directions, summarize missed messages, or translate signs and conversation in real time while preserving the speaker's tone.

[00:00:45]Google Glass was over a decade ago. With Samsung's hardware and proper fashion partners, the second attempt looks a lot less awkward than the first.
