Google still doesn't have much to show for Android XR

** Despite Google's long-standing efforts in the extended reality (XR) space, its Android XR platform hasn't made much of a splash. The article highlights how competitors like Apple and Meta are pushing ahead with bold hardware and software innovations, while Google's offerings feel stagnant—lacking compelling devices or standout features. It’s a classic case of "wait and see," but patience might be wearing thin for enthusiasts and developers banking on Google to step up.
Editor’s Note: ** Google’s slow progress in XR matters because the race for dominance in mixed reality is heating up. If they don’t move faster, they risk getting left behind in what could be the next big computing platform—especially as Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest devices gain traction. For now, Android XR feels like a missed opportunity rather than a game-changer.
