Apple is reportedly looking to release a pair of smart glasses by the end of next year in a bid to compete with Meta’s AI-powered glasses, the Ray-Ban Meta.

Google is trying out smart glasses again. At its Google I/O keynote address on Tuesday, Google showed off a product that was referred to simply as "Android XR glasses" in both the presentation and the accompanying blog post.

Android XR head Shahram Izadi talked to CNET about Google's big next steps for AI, AR and VR, and the company's partnerships with Samsung, Warby Parker and Xreal.
