Smart eyewear company Xreal is partnering with Google to produce augmented reality glasses that it is calling Project Aura, a new product built using Android XR technology. The AI-powered glasses will use optical see-through technology to enhance the consumer AR experience and will include a widened 70-degree field of view.

The Google smart glasses era is back, sort of. Today, Google and Xreal announced a strategic partnership for a new Android XR device called Project Aura at the Google I/O developer conference.

Late last year Google announced its new extended reality ecosystem, Android XR, designed to go up against Meta Quest and Apple 's Vision Pro. Along with that it introduced the first device, Samsung's Project Moohan, a virtual reality-style headset.
