NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Google, in collaboration with Samsung and Qualcomm, has introduced Android XR, a new operating system designed for XR headsets. Support is planned for glasses and other devices. Most Android apps are supported with no or minimal changes, but the idea is to build new spatial apps from scratch or to "spatialize" existing apps. The new Android XR SDK is positioned as the go-to SDK for such projects, and Google provides guidance on how to choose tools and technologies bundled in the SDK. It’s available in developer preview now.
