[phillynews215]

• Samsung is offering an early peek at its in-development “Project Moohan” headset.
• The standalone hardware will run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 platform.
• Samsung intends to formally launch Moohan sometime in 2025.

Google is finally getting serious about the future of wearable computing as it embraces head-mounted hardware with the launch of Android XR. This latest branch of the Android platform is all about tapping into the power of Gemini for a voice-first, modern take on all things AR, VR, and MR, all bundled up together under the XR banner. While Google’s plans sound appropriately grand, Apple’s already got a big head start with the Vision Pro, leaving us anxious to see what the first Android XR hardware will look like. Thankfully, we’re already getting a taste of that, as Google and Samsung share the latter’s work on what it’s calling Project Moohan.
