Meet Google Martha, the company’s Android XR smart glasses prototype
Martha remains just a prototype for now.
- Google demoed its Android XR smart glasses prototype at Google I/O 2025.
- We now learn that this Android XR prototype is called “Google Martha.”
- Its companion app handles connected features like notifications, settings access, video recording from the user’s perspective, and more.
After over a year of teasing with Project Astra, Google showed off its Android XR glasses on stage at Google I/O 2025. My colleague C.
