Google’s Android XR as already known is the brand’s own extended reality (XR) platform, combining virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) experiences for future smart headsets and smart glasses. The Project Moohan headset that Samsung plans to introduce later this year in 2025 will be the very first Android XR headset, and just recently this device was also spotted on Geekbench.
Following the recently held I/O 2025 event, Google has now shared on how Android XR’s spatial UI capabilities as well as the integrated AI models will allow app developers to create and develop personalized, innovative, and immersive user experiences. Check out more about it below.
Android XR – Compose and AI Features
The Jetpack Compose for XR is a toolkit that developers will be able to find within the Jetpack XR SDK, and it will enable them to build spatial user interfaces. A few of the key components offered to developers on Jetpack Compose include spatial panels, sub-spaces, spatial rows and columns, spatial elevation, orbiters, and modifiers. Additionally, Jetpack Compose also supports stereoscopic 3D video formats, which will enhance the depth perception for Android XR users (on headsets or glasses) by delivering different images to each of their eyes.
Coming to the AI capabilities, notably it improves the user experience on Android XR devices with creative content generation (~ generate images and interactive elements), context-aware interactions (~ understands user environment), and conversational multi-modal agents (~ for assistance and coaching). For developers, making use of Vertex AI and Firebase, Google’s AI models such as Gemini 2.0 and Imagen 3 can be integrated on Android XR apps – for tasks like natural language processing, custom AI model training, and image generation.
As of now, the Android XR SDK, emulator, samples, and documentation are available to developers (~ developer preview), which will be enabling them to make Android XR apps using familiar Android tools and features.
