Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Strongest ecosystem bet in spatial (Google + Samsung + Qualcomm, mature Jetpack/OpenXR tooling, Gemini multimodal, free no-code-change migration for existing Android apps), but Developer Preview status + preview-only APIs + near-zero shipping installed base mean it is for learning, not production commitments yet.
Next
Prototype against Jetpack Compose for XR + Gemini Live API in the Android Studio XR emulator (no hardware spend) to learn the spatial model; gate any production work on SDK reaching beta/stable + glasses availability.
