Experience the Future of XR with Galaxy AI

XR

In a world where boundaries between the physical and digital realms continue to blur, the future of how we experience reality is now within our grasp. Samsung and Google, two technology powerhouses, have come together to revolutionize the way we interact with our surroundings, introducing the groundbreaking Android XR platform. With this new platform, the era of extended reality (XR) is here — a world where virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and other digital innovations converge to transform the everyday user experience.

XR is no longer a futuristic concept; it’s becoming part of our daily lives. It encompasses a range of immersive technologies designed to extend or alter our reality by combining the physical world with digital elements. Whether it’s through virtual worlds, enhanced digital overlays on real-world scenes, or mixed reality environments that combine both, XR offers endless potential. It allows users to engage with their environment in ways never before possible — through simple gestures, voice commands, and even gaze movements.

From learning, working, and gaming to entertainment and wellness, XR is unlocking new possibilities across various aspects of life. And with advancements in technology like the Galaxy AI and collaboration with industry leaders like Google and Qualcomm, Samsung is spearheading this revolution, making XR experiences more natural, intuitive, and accessible than ever before.

At the core of Samsung’s XR vision is Galaxy AI, a powerful suite of mobile AI technologies that brings multimodal interactions to life. With Galaxy AI, users can engage with XR environments in ways that feel completely natural. The system understands your voice, gestures, and movements, enabling intuitive control of digital content and experiences.

“XR has quickly shifted from a distant promise to a tangible reality. We believe it has the potential to unlock new and meaningful ways to interact with the world by truly resonating with your everyday lives, transcending physical boundaries,” said Won-Joon Choi, EVP and Head of R&D, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung.

This seamless integration of XR and AI is supported by Samsung’s broader Galaxy ecosystem, allowing for smooth connectivity across various devices, from smartphones and tablets to headsets and glasses. As XR technology continues to evolve, Samsung’s goal is to ensure that every user has an effortless and immersive experience, whether they’re exploring new virtual worlds, enjoying a sports match on YouTube, or navigating real-world environments with enhanced digital overlays.

One of the most exciting developments in the XR space is Project Moohan, Samsung’s new headset designed specifically for Android XR. Codenamed “Moohan” (meaning ‘infinity’ in Korean), the device promises to deliver an unparalleled immersive experience, opening up endless possibilities within the infinite digital space.

The Moohan headset will come equipped with state-of-the-art displays, Passthrough capabilities, and natural multi-modal input, enabling users to interact with digital content in ways that feel both futuristic and familiar. Whether you’re using Google Maps to explore the world, attending live events on YouTube, or planning a vacation with the help of Galaxy AI’s conversational interface, the Moohan headset will provide a new dimension of engagement.

The design of the Moohan headset prioritizes comfort, featuring ergonomically optimized hardware that ensures users can enjoy long sessions without discomfort. This commitment to both cutting-edge technology and user-centric design ensures that XR becomes accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

In addition to the hardware advancements, Samsung is also partnering with Google to create a powerful ecosystem for Android XR. The collaboration aims to bring the best of both worlds — Samsung’s expertise in mobile devices and AI, and Google’s leadership in cloud services, apps, and Android — into a single, seamless XR experience.

“We are at an inflection point for XR, where breakthroughs in multimodal AI enable natural and intuitive ways to use technology in your everyday life,” said Sameer Samat, President of Android Ecosystem at Google. “We’re thrilled to partner with Samsung to build a new ecosystem with Android XR, transforming computing for everyone on next-generation devices like headsets, glasses, and beyond.”

With the combined expertise of Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm, the Android XR platform will be able to deliver a wide range of content, services, and applications that will push the boundaries of what XR can offer. The platform will be compatible with both headsets and glasses, providing flexibility in how users choose to experience XR technology.

The future of XR is filled with infinite possibilities. As Samsung and Google continue to push the boundaries of what XR can do, users will soon be able to experience the world around them in ways that were once confined to science fiction. From virtual travel and immersive gaming to advanced educational tools and new healthcare solutions, XR is poised to reshape how we interact with technology and each other.

The collaboration between Samsung and Google marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the world of XR. With Project Moohan and the Android XR platform, the future is not only bright — it’s immersive, interactive, and limitless.
