The Rise of Smart XR Glasses: What You Need to Know About the XREAL One Pro and the Future of AR
The world of smart glasses is changing rapidly. Where augmented reality (AR) was previously seen mainly as a technology for niche applications or futuristic concepts, we are now seeing the first generation of practical, stylish and functional AR glasses appear. Big names like Google, Samsung and XREAL are leading the way. In this article, we delve into the latest developments and explain why the XREAL One Pro is currently one of the most versatile choices for those who want to get started with AR today.
Android XR: A New Era for Smart Glasses
At Google I/O 2025, the Android XR was officially introduced. This new operating system is specifically designed for extended reality applications, with a clear focus on smart glasses that you can wear all day. Think of light, stylish glasses with built-in speakers, cameras and microphones. Through integration with Google Gemini, Google's AI assistant, users can receive real-time translations, retrieve information, summarise messages and even have notifications read out loud - all without taking your phone out of your pocket.
The glasses are operated via voice, touch, gestures and smart 'eye tracking'. These features ensure natural and intuitive use, without the need for an external controller. Android XR thus forms the software basis for a new category of wearable computers on your face.
Samsung and Google: Joint Smart Glasses Coming Soon
In addition to Google's collaboration with eyewear brands such as Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, another promising collaboration has been announced: that between Samsung and Google. They are currently developing a smart glasses together, internally known as 'Project Moohan', which runs on Android XR. Samsung is responsible for the hardware, while Google provides the software. Both parties aim to compete with Apple's Vision Pro and Meta's Ray-Ban glasses.
What is striking is that this smart glasses will not be an independent augmented reality headset like the HoloLens or Vision Pro, but rather a daily wearable assistant, similar to how you use your smartphone now.
