At the I/O 2026 Developer Conference, Google gave us our first look at the upcoming Gemini-powered Intelligent Eyewear. Running atop the Android XR stack, these glasses have been developed in collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm, while the design DNA has been developed by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The partner is similar to the work that Meta has done with its own smart glasses, which started with a partnership with Ray-Ban and later expanded to Oakley, as well.  Google is calling them audio glasses because they don’t come with a built-in screen, and most of the interactions that you will…

Google is pushing its experimental AI world-building project into surprisingly realistic territory. The company announced that Project Genie can now use real-world imagery from Google Street View to generate interactive virtual environments, blending real locations with imaginative AI-generated styles. At its core, Genie is what Google calls a “world model” — an AI system capable of creating explorable digital environments where AI agents, robots, or even users can interact naturally. Until now, those worlds were mostly synthetic. But with this new update, Genie can anchor itself to real places pulled directly from Street View imagery. This is actually where things…

Google announced Wear OS 7 at I/O 2026, and for the Pixel Watch owners who have spent years watching Apple pile features onto watchOS, this one might feel like redemption.  The latest Wear OS update promises up to 10% better battery life compared to Wear OS 6, which is meaningful for a device where every hour of battery life counts. And, more importantly, Gemini Intelligence is coming to Pixel Watches later this year (with an asterisk the size of a watch face). What’s actually new in Wear OS 7? The most noticeable change is the removal of Tiles. Google is…

Today, Google is adding a set of new agentic features that take the tool well beyond social media posts. What is Pomelli? Pomelli is an AI marketing tool…

But the most interesting of the bunch is the Xreal Project Aura smart glasses, which support full hand gesture support as well as mixed reality view for Android apps available through the…
