A few months ago, the world of XR andVR headsetstook a leap forward. That’s because theApple Vision Proheadset was unveiled, marking the first foray the brand took into that arena.
Reactions were mixed. Some enjoyed the format, and appreciated the efforts taken to put the technology into a usable package.Applemarket the device as a “Spatial Computer” rather than a mixed reality headset. Others had reservations though – mainly surrounding the price.
Now, a consortium of big name brands are coming together to create a rival device.Samsung, Google and Qualcommare no strangers – their respective technology is already found in topSamsung phoneslike theSamsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
When that device was unveiled back in February, the trio signalled their intention to produce an XR device. And now,Samsung’s Head of Mobile Experience, TM Roh, has renewed hope of the device coming soon.
That’s great news for fans. Previous rumours had suggested that the project was being held up in the wake of the Apple announcement, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
We also got a little more information about the concept of the device itself. In the same speech, Roh said, “We are not looking to be happy about launching a single product or creating an ecosystem for one company. Like smartphones, what we are doing is opening an XR ecosystem.”
