Google Bets on Artificial Intelligence and Multi-Device Compatibility with Android XR

Ramon T. Llamas — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 05:00:00 GMT

On Thursday, December 12, Google announced the launch of its Android XR with partners Qualcomm and Samsung. The announcement fulfills the promise that Google, Samsung, and Qualcomm jointly announced in 2023, leveraging the technological capabilities each brings. Powered by its Gemini AI and offering operability across glasses and headsets, Android XR aims to democratize XR for the masses. Its first step: build its application library by porting over current ones from the Play Store, offering tools to developers to turn their current Android apps into 3D Android apps, and giving developers additional tools to create new 3D applications from scratch. In addition, Samsung provided a quick glimpse at its XR Headset code-named Project Moohan. Video demonstrations show wearers using Gemini to search for information and running different Google services like YouTube and Google Maps. IDC sees this announcement as a means to helping developers and hardware vendors get more out of Google's own platform generally, and in relation to the XR market specifically, the announcement heralds increased competition and stepped-up innovation among the major platform players.
