Tapping into some Hollywood talent for a short film teaser.

Gentle Monster teases Samsung Android XR glasses with some help from Joaquin Phoenix

Pre-orders for Samsung's Android XR glasses with frames from Warby Parker and Gentle Monster will open next week, on November 12. Gentle Monster is teasing a short film starring Joaquin Phoenix to promote the launch, with the full version set to debut around the middle of the month. The Samsung Android XR smart glasses, part of the Google-collaboration "Intelligent Eyewear" series, are finally getting closer to release.

With such high-profile names backing the product, this launch could generate significant public interest in the new form factor. Google has previously attempted smart glasses through Glass, and has since worked to overcome negative feedback. However, as modern smart glasses are gaining traction, the tech community is eager to see how these companies will leverage the Android XR platform.
