Unveiling Tomorrow's Reality: How GOOGLE Is Shaping the Future of Extended Reality

Move over virtual reality and augmented reality, extended reality is the next big digital immersive thing. The online world is moving at a ferocious pace, but one of the fastest segments is extended reality, the umbrella term for any sort of immersive digital environment, encompassing everything from augmented reality (AR) to virtual reality (VR) and other mixed forms like Mixed Reality (MR). Where is GOOGLE in this mix? Not surprisingly, given the company’s position as one of the major players in today’s technology scene, GOOGLE is making a much-anticipated push for a dominant position in the coming XR rush. The company is getting set to hold its flagship GOOGLE I/O developer conference in Mountain View, California, where we expect the firm to make substantial announcements about its future AR and VR ambitions. But what exactly can we expect to hear tomorrow? And how will the GOOGLE playbook fit into the company’s past developments and the history of its strategic partnerships in the realm of XR? What is XR exactly? XR is a catch-all term for virtual, augmented, and mixed realities. Immersion levels within XR can vary, with VR offering highly immersive (and sometimes rather captivating) experiences that block out a significant amount of the real world, while AR is a lower-fidelity immersion, in which the virtual merely overlays on your field of vision.

GOOGLE, Qualcomm, Samsung: A Triumvirate for a New XR Era

GOOGLE has turned its hand to a few columns of the technology ocean, including smartphones and smart glasses, but it’s its interest in XR that warrants particular attention; it’s also here that we get the strongest hint that GOOGLE might be building a new generation of XR headset to help power the next phase of immersive experiences. It’s particularly intriguing that GOOGLE has been working with some of the biggest semiconductor manufacturers in recent years, including Qualcomm and Samsung.

In January, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 Platform promised to deliver improved XR display and visuals hardware. As highlighted by the telecommunications giant, the chipset, which partners with the likes of GOOGLE, Samsung, and other major tech players, sets a precedent for dependable XR applications that blend gaming and productivity in immersive and efficient ways.

‘Together, these tech giants could unleash unparalleled XR experiences fuelled by Android’s ecosystem,’ said Shahram Izadi, Vice President of AR at GOOGLE. In other words, even if GOOGLE eventually exits AR altogether, you can assume that the remaining tech giants will be right there bringing down the rain. If anything, GOOGLE seems to be doubling down on AR, despite laying off a sector of its workforce that includes AR staff.

The Dawn of GOOGLE’s Smart Glasses?

The idea that GOOGLE could launch smart glasses is the one I’m most likely to bank on among the swirling speculations. Based on a new patent that GOOGLE won this year from North, GOOGLE may have a savvy design in mind that rivals those of Apple and Meta. But it’s the hints about developer tools that might be used to help people building AR apps that signals GOOGLE’s larger plan: to let the ecosystem create the innovation that will push forward the XR world.

Beyond Hardware: GOOGLE’s Comprehensive Tech Ecosphere

XR solutions are set to dominate headlines despite GOOGLE I/O featuring an array of updates to its portfolio of technologies spanning from artificial intelligence to machine learning, as well as to its cloud technologies. GOOGLE’s holistic approach will, of course, reinforce its position as a pioneering company helping to create the future of digital experiences, whether they involve immersive worlds, smart homes, studios, schools, or workspaces.

AR and VR: Rethinking Reality

The prospect of new AR solutions being discussed at GOOGLE I/O excited me; GOOGLE’s past attempts at creating immersive solutions, as well as its multitude of partnerships, meant that the company was set to have a big impact on the XR space, again.

And what is clear is GOOGLE’s intention to harness its immense technological capabilities for more than just watching the future of XR unfold. ‘Here at GOOGLE, we’re not satisfied in just participating in the development of this next generation of computing,’ says Linda Kiang, an AR product manager for Tango. ‘We aspire to help lead it.’ As the physical world meets the digital world, GOOGLE’s work on AR and VR is evidence of what that future might look like.

GOOGLE: Pioneering Today for Tomorrow’s Technologies

From GOOGLE’s beginnings as a search engine to its innovative work within countless other technologies, GOOGLE has always stayed true to its mission and found ways to push the limits of what is possible. With digital futures woven into its DNA via decades of collaborations and research, including the ILM team that created the digital world of Jurassic Park, GOOGLE’s influence over the tech ecosystem is unmatched, and its foray into both XR points to an ardent desire to bring transformative immersion into the mainstream of human experience.
