Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google is getting back into the smart glasses game. The company has announced a partnership with Warby Parker - they plan to launch a series of smart glasses built on top of Google's Android XR as soon as next year. The rise of generative AI has allowed Google to revisit the idea of Google Glass, a wearable it launched in 2013 that failed partly due to a technology gap. The company has learned many lessons since the failed launch. Other companies, like Meta and Apple, are also reportedly working on smart glasses.
