Google shows off Android XR Glasses and smarter tracking tech

At Google I/O 2025, Google revealed two exciting projects—its new Android-powered XR glasses and upgrades to its Find My Device network. First, Google teased its upcoming XR (Extended Reality) glasses, developed with Qualcomm and Samsung. These lightweight smart glasses look more like regular eyewear than previous bulky headsets.

Though Google didn’t share all the details, the demo showed how users can see Android phone notifications, maps, and messages directly through the glasses. They’re expected to run a custom version of Android built for spatial computing, meaning you’ll interact with digital content layered over the real world.

Alongside this, Google is upgrading its Find My Device network with better location tools. Soon, Android users will be able to track their belongings more precisely using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. Google also introduced a new “Find My Device hub” that can remember where you left a lost item—even if your phone goes offline.

Google is also working with airlines to add luggage tracking to this system. When passengers check in at the airport, their bags will appear automatically in the Find My Device app. This feature could help travelers know exactly where their luggage is during a trip. Together, these announcements show how Google is pushing Android into new areas—combining wearable tech and smart tracking to make daily life easier and more connected.
