Today, Google announced Android XR, a brand new operating system for AR/VR devices.
The company hopes Android XR can unify the messy XR hardware industry, similar to what Android did for smartphones.
Samsung will launch a VR headset powered by Android XR in 2025, codenamed “Project Moohan.”
In 2008, Google announced the commercial launch of the Android operating system and the first Android phone (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-android-phones-568001/), the T-Mobile G1 (aka the HTC Dream). During this launch event, Google made it clear that it intended to unite the messy smartphone industry. Instead of iOS (then known as iPhone OS) competing with Windows Phone, Symbian, BlackBerry OS, Palm OS, etc., Google hoped everyone would unite behind Android. Here we are, 16 years later, and it worked.
Now, Google is hoping for a repeat in the virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) spaces. Today, the company has unveiled Android XR (https://blog.google/products/android/android-xr), a brand new operating system designed to power the XR devices of the future. This includes (but is not limited to) VR headsets, AR glasses, and more.
