We may have forgotten about the metaverse but the metaverse hasn't forgottn about us. "Android XR is Google's new operating system aimed at powering devices like headsets and glasses and making possible new experiences, a.k.a. apps, running on them. Android XR will integrate Gemini, Google's AI assistant, to enable understanding user intent, defining a plan, guiding through tasks, and more." My thinking: this isn't intended to be a product. The hope is probably that enough people will buy them that the data collected can be used to train robots equipped with Android XR to navigate through the world, collecting their own 'experiences', vastly increasing the data that Google AI can use in the future.
