At AWE USA 2026, Google takes the stage to unveil the future of spatial computing and the Android XR ecosystem. Join Hugo Swart (Senior Director, AndroidXR Ecosystem) and Juston Payne (Senior Director, Product Management) as they showcase how Google is transforming intelligent eyewear and premium spatial experiences into lightweight, everyday devices.
In this talk, Juston Payne breaks down Google’s upcoming roadmap for intelligent eyewear, featuring two distinct configurations built on a single core principle: they must first and foremost be great, stylish, everyday glasses. Learn how Gemini provides a highly personalized intelligence layer by connecting deeply with your phone, turning generic AI responses into tailored, real-world assistance—from hyper-customized fitness and dietary suggestions to executing agentic, hands-free actions like ordering groceries in the background via apps like DoorDash.
For developers, Hugo and Juston explain the highly efficient "split compute architecture." Find out how you can seamlessly bring your existing mobile apps into the XR ecosystem using Google's glasses APIs, Jetpack Compose, and Glimmer, allowing your current widgets and notifications to instantly light up on display glasses.
Finally, get an exciting sneak peek at what’s coming to the market—including the highly anticipated XR Aura and upcoming audio glasses arriving this fall in partnership with Samsung, Qualcomm, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker.
✨ Key Highlights in this Video:
XR Aura: Premium spatial experiences packed into a lightweight, portable form factor.
Audio Glasses vs. Display Glasses: The evolution of private spoken assistance and visual heads-up displays.
Gemini as a Universal Assistant: Context-aware, agentic AI that securely interacts with your phone's apps to take action on your behalf.
The Android XR Developer Ecosystem: How to scale your mobile apps across the entire roadmap of XR products by building once.
Industry Partnerships: Collaborative hardware foundations powered by Samsung, Qualcomm, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster.
