US EditionMagic Leap and Google Showcase What's Next for AI Smart Glasses
Magic Leap and Google combine optics and microLED technology to create a wearable AR prototype using Android XR, aiming for all-day use in enterprise markets.
- On October 29, 2025, Magic Leap and Google unveiled an Android XR smart glasses prototype at the Future Investment Initiative in Saudi Arabia and extended their collaboration with a three-year agreement.
- Facing weak headset sales, Magic Leap pivoted to enterprise after poor consumer sales and laid off staff in July 2024, following faltering commercial performance with Magic Leap One and Magic Leap 2.
- The prototype combines Magic Leap's waveguides and optics with Google's Raxium microLED light engine and runs the Android XR operating system as a reference design for the ecosystem.
- The AR-smart glasses field is crowded, and Samsung's Galaxy XR arrived last week, intensifying competition while Magic Leap says it will leverage over 15 years of AR experience with Google XR.
- Announced a couple of months earlier, the partnership is beginning to show results though Magic Leap has provided few details on availability or price, and Shahram Izadi said it's `natural to look through`.
