Samsung to Unveil Project Moohan Headset on October 21
Samsung has announced it will reveal further details about its Project Moohan mixed reality headset during its upcoming “Worlds Wide Open” event on October 21 at 10 PM ET, reports 24brussels.
The headset operates on Android XR, a new mixed reality platform developed collaboratively by Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm. Samsung has stated that the headset is “designed to scale across form factors, bringing AI to the center of immersive, everyday experiences.” Initial previews from late 2024 indicated significant advancements, and now the company appears poised for a full launch.
“Project Moohan is the groundbreaking first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform, and it seamlessly blends everyday utility with immersive new experiences,” Samsung reiterated. “This is where the true potential of XR comes alive, unlocking a whole new dimension of possibilities.”
This announcement comes amidst reports that Apple is close to introducing an updated version of its Vision Pro headset, equipped with a faster chip. Leaked documents from the FCC indicate that a new version of the Vision Pro headset is also on the horizons, yet there are indications that Apple may pivot from headsets to focus on smart glasses, having reportedly sidelined plans for a lighter Vision Pro model.
The anticipation around the “Worlds Wide Open” Galaxy event highlights the escalating competition in the mixed reality space, as both tech giants prepare to shape the future of immersive technology.
