Two buttons and a touchpad that summons Gemini

Google's Android XR design documentation, reported by SamMobile, describes a camera button, a power button, and a touchpad. Holding the touchpad summons Gemini. The camera button takes a photo with a single press, or video when held. There is no dedicated Gemini button. Two LED indicators are also described: one for the wearer, one outward-facing to signal bystanders when recording.

Samsung's Galaxy Glasses have no dedicated AI button. Everything routes through a camera button, a power button, and a touchpad. Android Authority places the camera button near the hinge on the arm: press once for a photo, hold for video, press again to stop. SamMobile's read of Google's Android XR design docs covers the touchpad, where a single tap plays or pauses media and holding it summons Gemini. Two LEDs are described, one facing the wearer and one facing out to tell bystanders the camera is running. Physical buttons first, voice second, the same order Meta settled on.
