- Jason describes trying Google's Astro glasses, monocular and binocular prototypes, and Project Aura headset demos during his visit.
- He recounts seeing YouTube Music and spatial features work without app changes, showing Android XR's seamless app compatibility.
Platform Advantage Over Hardware Bets
