A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

tl;dr: in response to pressure from the apple vision pro, google killed their internal "iris" smart glasses effort in order to combine their efforts with samsung & work on one ui for xr & another unnamed headset. in doing so, they've also decided to let all oems skin android xr just like on phones. they're also working on something called "micro xr", but no one knows what that is yet.
