Google’s new Android XR smart glasses use Gemini to AI-edit your world while you’re still taking the photo

It’s been a minute since we last saw Google’s prototype smart glasses in action but the tech giant recently held demos for them during MWC 2026.

Google’s Dieter Bohn showcased a number of features including the ability to use the camera and Nano Banana in combination to take a photo and edit it on the fly. In Dieter’s example, he took a photo of a group of people and used Banana to “reimagine” it in front La Sagrada Familia, a famous church in Barcelona — also an excellent board game.
