As anticipation builds for the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, also known as Project Moohan, the tech community is buzzing with excitement. Scheduled for a grand reveal on October 21, the headset has been the subject of speculation and intrigue for over a year. In preparation for its debut, a selection of Android apps tailored for the device has begun to surface on the Google Play Store.
Emerging Applications for Extended Reality
Recent findings by SammyGuru and @WorkaholicDavid indicate that a variety of applications and games are now labeled with “XR,” signaling their readiness for the immersive Extended Reality experience that the Galaxy XR promises to deliver. Among the intriguing offerings are:
- A virtual reality crazy golf experience
- A space shooter game
- An app designed to project a virtual television screen
These early glimpses into the software ecosystem hint at the potential of the headset to provide engaging and diverse experiences for users.
The pricing landscape for the Galaxy XR is still unfolding, with estimates suggesting a starting cost around ,760 / £1,315 / AU,715. This figure is derived from a rumored price in South Korean won, so it may be subject to adjustments as the launch date approaches.
In addition to hardware capabilities, the integration of advanced software features is expected to play a pivotal role in the user experience. Earlier this year, insights into the Android XR software revealed that Gemini and AI technologies will be central to its functionality, enabling features such as live translation and rapid responses to user inquiries.
With a promising set of specifications on the horizon, the Galaxy XR headset is poised to compete vigorously in the current virtual reality market. As Samsung prepares to unveil the full details, the industry eagerly awaits what could be a transformative addition to the realm of immersive technology.
