I also write a weekly XR-centric column called AC thVRsday that goes live on, you guessed it, Thursdays. If you’re not familiar with the term XR, it stands for eXtended Reality and covers the gamut of AR and VR devices. That’s everything from smart glasses like Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses to full-fledged, premium VR headsets like Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy XR.

Google’s Android XR is a brand new version of Android built specifically for XR devices, and while the Galaxy XR mixed reality headset is the first Android XR device to market, we’re expecting a treasure trove of smart glasses to use the operating system next year.
That includes companies like Samsung and Xreal, who are expected to debut a wide range of products including display-less AI glasses and even full-fledged AR glasses. What are your thoughts on XR, as a whole? Are you excited about smart glasses, can’t wait to get a top-notch VR headset, or have another opinion? Let us know! We’d love to hear it.
