Samsung has finally set a date for the official announcement of its next VR headset – Project Moohan. Samsung first teased Project Moohan back at Unpacked in January, and has been doing demos at various events all year long. In fact, I got to do a demo at Google I/O this past Summer.
Now, Samsung is finally getting ready to make it official, at a new Galaxy Event called “Worlds Wide Open”. At this event, Samsung says that it will be “introducing a new era of multimodal AI and unveiling Project Moohan, the first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform.”
The event will take place on October 21 at 10 PM ET. With that time, it’s pretty obvious that Samsung is doing a virtual event that is coinsiding with Korea. Which does line up with some of the rumors we’ve heard about the Android XR headset, where it would be limited to Korea – though, we do expect it to launch in another country or two.
We did leak the headset just a few days ago, which is going to use the name “Galaxy XR” and be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2. Of course, we also expect it to have incredible displays, since that is what Samsung really excels at.
Galaxy Reserve opens today, get $100 credit
With tonight’s announcement, Samsung is also opening Galaxy Reserve for the new Android XR headset. So you’re going to be able to reserve the latest Galaxy devices. Which will get you a $100 credit. And given how much we expect this headset to cost, you’re definitely going to want that $100 credit.
You’ll be able to watch the Samsung Galaxy Event on Samsung’s website, YouTube Channel and of course learn more on the Samsung Newsroom.
