We are at the gates of an authentic revolution, with the next launch of Android XR. The new version of the operating system, designed for augmented reality devices, will not be alone; Everything indicates that at least one manufacturer will join the party, and it is very likely that it is Samsung.
After all, when Android XR appeared last year, he did it with a prototype of augmented reality viewer; he Moohan projectAs its name suggests, it is not yet a commercial product, but proof of concept of what is possible with the new system. But that does not mean that a product based on this technology will not reach the market.
Now it seems that Google has “escaped” its plans, and that Android XR will be released this yearMost likely accompanied by the new viewfinder. This error appears in the list of sessions to be held on the next E / S Google, which includes a reference to Android XR and its approximate launch date.
Google I / or will start on May 20. For most people, the most interesting part will be the opening ceremony, where news related to Google products, such as Android 16 or New Gemini functions will be presented. But in reality, the event lasts two full days, with a multitude of conferences and workshops intended mainly for developers, in order to offer more technical details on new products and how they can be used by third part applications.
One of these conferences will be focused on Android XR, in particular on how developers can create differentiated applications for the 3D content platform. Google wants developers Modify existing applications with augmented reality functionsLike 3D models, stereoscopic video and hand surveillance. Therefore, we can expect Android XR to be one of the protagonists of the Google E / S, and that it appears during the opening ceremony; And it is not for less, because its launch will occur soon.
In the description of the conference, Google admits that the public launch of Android XR will take place this year; Although it does not give a concrete date, it is more than what was known so far. The Android XR launch in 2025 is already secureAnd that means that the revolution will come before what we can expect.
Of course, Android XR alone is not useful; Where it will really show its value, it is on a device adapted to virtual reality. It is very likely that Samsung will be in charge of the publication of the platform, with a version of the Moohan project adapted to the general public, but Google himself also works on Another format of smart glasses which would also be based on Android XR.
