A busy week immersed in extended reality; a short newsletter to honor it.
It's been a big week for us, so the newsletter to round it out will be short. We went hands-on with Android XR in all its iterations: smart glasses, wired smart glasses, and a cover-your-head mixed-reality headset. The Pixel Watch 4 got a gestures update this week, putting it on par with the fan favorite (though not for the Android faithful), the Apple Watch. And, we launched the Annual Podcast Kudos (APK) Awards!
What are you doing this weekend? You're voting. This is about the devices you used this year, the stories that grabbed your attention, and the hardware that makes you say, "I'm proud to be a Green Bubble." We've curated a list of finalists across six categories. Click through and go vote! Voting closes Dec. 22, and we'll be broadcasting the winners live on Dec. 23!
What is reality, and does it still count if it's facilitated in part by something I wear on my head? Jason, Ron, and I answer these questions and discuss our experiences with all the new Android XR form factors.
