I tried Google's XR glasses and they already beat my Meta Ray-Bans in 3 ways
Google unveiled a slew of new AI tools and features at I/O, dropping the term Gemini 95 times and AI 92 times. However, the best announcement of the entire show wasn't an AI feature; rather, the title went to one of the two hardware products announced -- the Android XR glasses. Also: I'm an AI expert, and these 8 announcements at Google I/O impressed me the most For the first time, Google gave the public a look at its long-awaited smart glasses, which pack Gemini's assistance, in-lens displays, speakers, cameras, and mics into the form factor of traditional eyeglasses. I had the opportunity to wear them for five minutes, during which I ran through a demo of using them to get visual Gemini assistance, take photos, and get navigation directions. As a Meta Ray-Bans user, I couldn't help but notice the similarities and differences between the two smart glasses -- and the features I now wish my Meta pair had.
