Google takes a page out of Meta’s book, announces new audio-powered smart glasses at IO 2026

# Google's New Audio Glasses Let You Control Your Phone by Just Talking Google just announced glasses that let you give voice commands to do everyday tasks—like sending messages, getting directions, or searching the web—without pulling out your phone. Think of them as a hands-free way to access Google's AI assistant and other apps you already use. It's similar to what Meta has been working on, but Google's version focuses on voice commands rather than a screen.
