Online shopping has always had one major weakness: you can see the product, but you still have to imagine how it will look on you. That gap is especially obvious with clothes and shoes. A shirt may look good in a product photo, but the real question is whether it suits your body shape, style, and overall look.

Google's I/O events are usually packed with announcements, and I/O 2026 was no different.
