During a live demo at a TED Talk, Shahram Izadi, Vice President and General Manager of Android XR at Google, showed off the company’s AI Glasses. The glasses look like normal prescription glasses but are packed with tech. They have tiny camera sensors, speakers, and even a screen that displays Gemini.
In the demo, Gemini could see what the user saw and respond instantly. One of the standout features of these glasses is memory. First introduced in Project Astra last year, Gemini’s memory can recall visual information and objects, even after they’re no longer in view.
This memory can last up to 10 minutes.

In a separate interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, hinted that this memory feature might be coming to Gemini Live soon. Gemini Live already allows users to have real-time voice chats with the AI and even see through their device’s video feed — but currently, it doesn’t remember what it sees. That could change soon.
Hassabis also mentioned that Gemini Live might greet users when the feature is turned on.
