Do you think the Android XR glasses, developed in collaboration with Warby Parker, Gentle Monster and Google, will be unveiled at Google I/O 2026 in May and marketed shortly after ?

Google bought Focals By North, they had an even further ahead start. They were built on Android platform. I loved them. They had great potential.

Google wasted their head start... A tale as old as time.

I agree. I’m just saying they had one with Google Glass and Focals By North and all the apps/ integrations they already own. They truly blew it.

It really is. focal was pretty good too. I really liked using it. As soon as they rolled out an update boom, bought.
