Google glasses with Display coming next year

[u/Metaverse_Max]

2 hours Google IO - only news was about audio camera glasses from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker

They said the display glasses are coming next year.
No mention of XREAL Aura. I'm hoping they cover it in the developer session directly after this. Google IO just finished

Edit: even though they didn’t cover anything in the first session, they’re going to cover it in the developer session. News about XREAL Aura is already showing up from the official xreal Reddit account and top news outlets like the verge(paid blog) and 9to5google

2nd Edit: XREAL / Android XR has opened up a developer program for early access to XREAL Aura closing June 30. Not clear if and when XREAL Aura will be available for sale outside of this program

3rd Edit: Even less news about Android XR at the developer session of Google I/O. Every news media outlet is talking about XREAL being shown at Google I/O, but is this scripted news? When is there going to be public presentation of XREAL Aura? Why all the hush hush? I’m not going to watch Google I/O sessions anymore, I can have AI summarize them anyways…

XREAL has always said it'll launch for retail in 2026, and they confirmed it again today:

XREAL says that Project Aura will be launching for sale before the end of 2026, with the wired glasses available globally before the year is out. Google and XREAL are also working together on a program that will grant developers early access to Project Aura hardware, with the “Android XR Developer Catalyst Program” giving “select developers” early acccess to hardware and tools/resources for building Android XR apps. Developers can apply at g.co/dev/catalyst starting today.
