- Google has demonstrated how Android XR devices can guide users through a city using floating 3D navigation markers and Gemini-powered voice narration.
- The demo combines tech from Google’s Visual Positioning System, Google Maps, Gemini, and Android XR to create a hands-free sightseeing experience.
- Google frames the experience around wired XR headsets like the now-official Project Aura glasses from XREAL.
Android XR is one of Google’s most ambitious projects right now. While we’re still waiting for the first set of Android XR glasses to take the technology mainstream, the company has now offered us a glimpse of what the future of navigation looks like with one of these devices.
