Google has unveiled a new operating system called Android XR, specifically designed for virtual and augmented reality devices.

This system is intended to work with headsets and smart glasses, providing integration of virtual and augmented reality technologies, as well as artificial intelligence.

Android XR is an open and unified platform for next-generation gadgets, enabling developers to create applications compatible with a wide range of devices using familiar Android tools and frameworks.

Google has collaborated with companies such as Samsung and Qualcomm to develop this OS, which supports ARCore, Android Studio, Jetpack Compose, and other technologies.

The first device based on Android XR, a mixed reality headset from Samsung, is expected to be released in 2025.

All apps available on Google Play for smartphones and tablets will work on devices with Android XR, significantly expanding opportunities for both users and developers.
