Samsung's Android-based VR Headset 'Infinite' Imminent? Will it Rival Apple Vision Pro?
I was also very surprised to hear this news! 🤩 Samsung Electronics is reportedly planning to unveil its Android-based mixed reality (MR) headset, codenamed 'Project Infinite', within this month. With Apple's Vision Pro facing challenges in mass adoption due to its high price, I'm truly excited to see what move Samsung will make!
Hello everyone! Today I've brought you some truly fascinating tech news. Are you all interested in VR/AR devices? 🚀
This news really caught my attention too. According to recent reports, Samsung Electronics is set to unveil its first mixed reality (MR) headset based on the Android operating system, codenamed 'Project Moohan', within this month. It's like a strong countermove to Apple's 'Vision Pro'!
What to Expect from 'Project Infinite'?
According to a report by ChosunBiz, the headset is targeted for release by the end of this month. Its development with the assistance of Google and Qualcomm is particularly noteworthy. This sparks anticipation for synergy within the Android ecosystem.
While specific specifications such as resolution, display technology, and weight have not yet been disclosed, considering Apple's Vision Pro weighs approximately 600 grams and costs $3,500 (about 4.8 million KRW), Samsung's headset is expected to be priced lower than the Vision Pro.
Why Now?
The significance of this news lies in the current market situation. While Apple's Vision Pro has generated significant buzz, according to ChosunBiz, it has faced some difficulties in mass adoption, holding only a 2% share of the global XR market as of the end of 2023.
In this context, if Samsung introduces a more realistic and reasonably priced device, it could greatly contribute to lowering the barrier to entry for the XR market. This would create opportunities for more people to experience mixed reality technology. 🤩

What's Next for the XR Market?
Mixed reality may still feel like a distant future, but it has the potential to deeply integrate into our daily lives, much like smartphones. Can Samsung's new headset, combined with Google's powerful ecosystem, pave the way for XR technology to move beyond a 'niche market' to the 'mainstream'?
