Not partnering with monopolist Luxottica is a plus in my books. But there's also a strong likelihood that wasn't Google's choice.

Samsung's Project Moohan sees the digital & physical worlds around you on an infinite screen, giving you a new way to see, explore and understand your surroundings. This first Android XR device is available later this year. #GoogleIO [image]

Android XR is the first @Android platform built in the Gemini era, and it supports devices across a variety of use cases — from headsets to glasses.👓 We built Android XR together as one team with Samsung, and optimized it for Snapdragon with Qualcomm. #GoogleIO [image]
