The Jetpack XR SDK includes some features and changes that aren't compatible
with some lower versions of Android Studio. For the best development experience
while developing for Android XR, use the [latest Canary build](https://developer.android.com/studio/preview) of Android
Studio. Other versions might not include Android XR tools. Remember that you can
keep your existing version of Android Studio installed, as you can [install
multiple versions side-by-side](https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/install-preview).

## Create virtual devices to run on the Android XR Emulator

To see how your app's experiences look and behave on different types of XR
devices, you can run your app on virtual XR devices on the Android XR Emulator.
See the following pages for information on setting up the emulator for different
types of virtual XR devices:

- [XR headsets and XR glasses](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/run/create-avds/xr-headsets-glasses)
- [AI glasses](https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/run/create-avds/ai-glasses)

under development. Consider enabling usage statistics and sending feedback to
help us improve these tools.

To enable usage statistics:
