The future of digital interaction is rapidly evolving, and Samsung, in partnership with Google, is at the forefront of this revolution. Together, they are launching the Android XR platform, a game-changing technology that blends the physical and digital worlds like never before. This collaboration promises to open up a world of endless possibilities for users, reshaping the way we live, work, learn, and play by introducing immersive extended reality (XR) experiences.
XR, short for extended reality, is an umbrella term that encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies. These technologies allow users to experience a digital world that interacts with and enhances the physical environment, creating immersive, dynamic experiences. XR is not just about observing digital content, but actively engaging with it — whether it’s through virtual simulations, real-time overlays, or mixed environments that bring together both realities.
From education to entertainment and healthcare, XR is poised to redefine how we interact with the world. Whether you’re attending a virtual concert, exploring a new city in AR, or participating in interactive learning environments, XR offers a new way to engage with content and surroundings.
As part of this vision, Samsung and Google have joined forces to develop the Android XR platform, integrating powerful AI and multimodal technologies to make XR experiences more accessible, intuitive, and immersive than ever before.
Central to this new era of XR is Samsung’s Galaxy AI technology, which enables a more natural, human-like interaction within XR environments. With the integration of voice recognition, gesture control, and contextual awareness, Galaxy AI allows users to control and interact with digital content seamlessly. This multimodal approach ensures that XR experiences feel intuitive and effortless, making technology more accessible to everyone.
“By merging Samsung’s leadership in mobile AI with the power of XR, we’re making it possible for users to engage with their surroundings and digital content in entirely new ways,” said Won-Joon Choi, EVP and Head of R&D at Samsung’s Mobile eXperience Business. “We’re creating a more personalized and interactive experience, with AI that understands your commands and adapts to your environment.”
Through Galaxy AI, Samsung is not just enhancing the XR experience — it’s making it more intelligent and personalized, delivering tailored content that responds to users’ specific needs and preferences.
A significant part of Samsung’s XR journey is the introduction of Project Moohan, a new headset designed specifically for the Android XR platform. Codenamed “Moohan,” which means “infinity” in Korean, the headset embodies Samsung’s belief in creating limitless, immersive experiences. The device will allow users to explore virtual worlds, interact with digital content, and seamlessly blend reality with the virtual in an intuitive way.
Equipped with state-of-the-art display technology, Passthrough capabilities, and advanced multi-modal input, Moohan promises to elevate the XR experience. Whether you’re navigating the world using augmented Google Maps, watching a live YouTube concert, or receiving interactive wellness guidance, Moohan will bring these experiences to life in a highly natural and immersive way.
Designed for comfort and prolonged use, Moohan’s lightweight construction and ergonomic features ensure a seamless experience, allowing users to explore the digital world for hours without discomfort.
The Android XR platform represents the culmination of years of collaboration between Samsung and Google, two tech giants working side-by-side to shape the future of XR. By combining Google’s expertise in cloud services, Android, and apps with Samsung’s AI-powered mobile technology, the Android XR platform offers a robust, scalable ecosystem for developers and users alike.
“We are excited to join forces with Samsung to create a new XR ecosystem that will change the way people interact with technology,” said Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem at Google. “With Android XR, we’re setting the stage for a future where digital and physical realities merge seamlessly across multiple devices.”
This partnership will give users access to an extensive library of content and services, from Google’s suite of apps to third-party developer innovations, ensuring that Android XR offers a wide range of enriching experiences. Whether you’re enjoying entertainment, enhancing productivity, or exploring the world through immersive learning tools, Android XR will make it easier and more enjoyable than ever to engage with the digital universe.
The Android XR platform marks the beginning of a new era in digital interaction. By breaking down the barriers between the physical and digital worlds, XR is set to transform everything from gaming and entertainment to education and healthcare. With the integration of Samsung’s Galaxy AI and Project Moohan, XR experiences will become more personalized, interactive, and immersive, providing users with the tools to engage with the world around them in new and exciting ways.
The partnership between Samsung and Google will continue to drive innovation, bringing new devices and applications to market that will further expand the capabilities of XR. With Android XR, the possibilities are endless, and this is just the start of what is sure to be an exciting and transformative journey into the future.
