Android XR is Google’s bet on the next wave of headsets and glasses, the XR sibling to Android on phones and to ARCore in Google’s AR stack. Gemini is woven in as an assistant that understands your surroundings, and the platform runs ordinary Android apps alongside XR-optimised ones. The launch device is the Samsung Galaxy XR headset (October 2025), with the see-through XREAL Aura glasses following later in 2026.
For a website owner the key fact is the browser. Android XR is Chromium-based and supports WebXR, so the same standards-based 3D that PausAR Viewer renders works on Android XR devices with no special build. We wrote about exactly this when Galaxy XR launched: Android XR is here, every PausAR Viewer experience is instantly ready. Your Web AR investment carries forward onto these new devices.

Both are Google AR technologies. ARCore brings AR to Android phones; Android XR is the operating system for dedicated XR headsets and glasses.
