Summary

Google just announced Android XR, a new operating system designed for “extended reality” devices like headsets and glasses. It will also support existing phone and tablet apps from the Play Store, much in the same way Apple supports iPad apps in the Vision Pro.

Android XR is still in its early stages, and most developers are only now getting the software and hardware they need to build for the new OS. But Google’s trying to move quickly next year: a device it’m building with Samsung, codenamed Moohan, is apparently slated to ship next year.

Depends how easy it is to get going and if it's cost prohibitive

If it's Google, they are going to target people just using it

Really hope it does. We need less of this purely proprietary junk
