Samsung is calling its Galaxy event for the XR headset Worlds Wide Open. Codenamed Project Moohan, the company developed the device in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm. It runs on the Android XR platform, an operating system developed by Google for the new era of XR. Meanwhile, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR+ Gen 2 chip powers the headset, which is capable of running advanced AI features.

In its Newsroom post, Samsung wrote, “Project Moohan is the groundbreaking first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform, and it seamlessly blends everyday utility with immersive new experiences. This is where the true potential of XR comes alive, unlocking a whole new dimension of possibilities”.
