A chic response to Meta

While Ray-Ban and Meta are leading with camera-ready frames, Kering and Google are stepping in with serious ambition. Their pitch? A premium, couture-inspired frame powered by Android XR. The goal: deliver a wearable that’s both fashionable and truly tech-savvy — fully blending into your everyday life.

Android XR: the brain behind the wearable

Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, Android XR is Google’s new OS for extended reality devices. It features Gemini, their AI assistant, offering hyper-contextual experiences: real-time translation, guided navigation, object recognition… all triggered by voice or gesture. The result? A smooth, immersive tech layer — without compromising on style.
