## Description

Provides guidelines for developing projected Android XR apps for display glasses using the Jetpack Compose Glimmer UI toolkit. Covers Glimmer design principles, workflows, and interaction models for the glasses form factor. Use this skill to build an Android XR Augmented Experience app with Jetpack Compose Glimmer. Don't use for audio-only AI glasses without a display, non-glasses Android XR headsets (spatial panels or 3D volumes with Jetpack Compose for XR), or phone and tablet Material 3 UIs.
