Samsung Reportedly Deepens XR Ties with Google in Push for Ray-Ban Smartglasses Competitor
Samsung and Google are reportedly collaborating on smartglasses that could rival Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, alongside their previously announced "XR platform" with Qualcomm. Insider sources suggest Google proposed the smartglasses idea earlier this year, with Samsung expected to manufacture and market them while integrating Google's AI capabilities. Several prototype designs, including code-named versions with displays, are reportedly under consideration. This initiative appears to focus on lighter smartglasses rather than full AR solutions, aiming to deliver essential content in a compact display. Details on the Android XR platform, potentially including these smartglasses, are anticipated by the end of 2024. For the full story, visit Road to VR.
