Glasses where Gemini sees what you see: XREAL Aura on Android XR

On October 28, Google and XREAL released XREAL Aura — the first wired glasses on Android XR. • see-through lenses: you see your room, with screens and apps on top; 70° field of view; • plug in a laptop with one USB-C cable and its screen becomes a window in the air — no software, and only you can see it; • Gemini sees both your room and your screens: it arranges windows, gives you hints in games, shows how furniture fits your room; • movie mode: dim the lenses — and if someone walks up, they turn clear again; • the glasses weigh 95 g: the rest is in a pocket unit on a cable with the Snapdragon Reality Elite chip; • launch price from $1,099 until the end of the year (regular $1,279); orders in the US, Canada and Korea, Japan from November 2, shipping from mid-November. Downsides: the cable to the unit, and it's sold in only four countries so far. My forecast: in 3–5 years, glasses like these will replace laptops and TVs, and Gemini will give you hints right on top of the real world. Subscribe — there's a lot more coming!
