Samsung has scheduled a “Worlds Wide Open” Galaxy event for October 21st at 10 PM ET to reveal details about its Project Moohan mixed-reality headset. The device is the result of a development partnership between Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm.
The headset will operate on Android XR, a new mixed-reality platform created by the three partner companies. Samsung describes the platform as being designed to scale across multiple form factors while positioning artificial intelligence at the center of immersive and everyday experiences. An early version of the headset and the Android XR platform was first tested in late 2024, preceding the formal launch event by nearly a year.
In a statement released October 14th, Samsung called Project Moohan the “groundbreaking first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform,” adding that it “seamlessly blends everyday utility with immersive new experiences.” The company further stated that this device is where the “true potential of XR comes alive, unlocking a whole new dimension of possibilities.”
This announcement coincides with reports that Apple is close to launching an updated Vision Pro headset powered by a faster processor. A device consistent with a new Vision Pro model has also appeared in recent FCC filings. At the same time, reports suggest Apple may be altering its product roadmap, having apparently deprioritized work on a lighter Vision Pro version to focus development resources on smart glasses.
