Smart eyewear company Xreal is partnering with Google to produce augmented reality glasses that it is calling Project Aura, a new product built using Android XR technology. The AI-powered glasses will use optical see-through technology to enhance the consumer AR experience and will include a widened 70-degree field of view.

Project Aura is made to be tethered, not standalone, and is much more compact than recent glasses from Samsung and Apple.

The Aura glasses are expected to launch for consumers between the end of this year and early next year, likely costing thousands of dollars.
