It’s been nearly a year of speculation, leaks, and quiet hints, but the wait is finally over. Samsung has announced that it will unveil its new XR headset, during the “Worlds Wide Open” Galaxy event on October 21 at 10 p.m. EDT. The device – codenamed Project Moohan – represents Samsung’s most ambitious step yet into the world of spatial computing and immersive technology.
At the core of this device is the operating system, Android XR, which Samsung calls:
A powerful platform optimized with AI embedded right from the start.
Co-developed with Google and Qualcomm, Android XR isn’t built for a single headset – it’s designed to scale across form factors, extending spatial computing into everyday use.
While Samsung hasn’t confirmed specifications or pricing of the headset, one thing is certain: The Galaxy XR will take the spotlight at the event. The teaser video all but confirms it, featuring glimpses of a sleek visor layered over cinematic landscapes that hint at the virtual worlds and limitless experiences it will unlock. The imagery feels deliberate: a nod to the blending of the real and digital, where boundaries dissolve and creativity expands.
A New Interface for a New Kind of Work
The company has emphasised the multimodal capabilities of the device, and how
They will enable the most natural and intuitive interactions with the world.
Instead of tapping screens or juggling devices, users will navigate digital spaces through voice, gaze, gesture, and context – a blend of natural input and adaptive intelligence that feels more intuitive, personal, and human.
For business and technology leaders, Samsung’s move has serious implications. It signals that XR is shifting from experimental to essential – and that multimodal AI could offer the foundation for how teams collaborate, train, and create.
Imagine hybrid meetings where spatial avatars interact in real time, engineers reviewing 3D prototypes hands-free, or data visualizations that respond to your line of sight. When multimodal interfaces converge with enterprise-grade hardware and AI, the barriers between physical and digital workspaces begin to dissolve.
Samsung is rewarding its customers: those who reserve a Project Moohan headset now will receive $100 credit toward other Galaxy products, a subtle yet strategic move, underscoring the company’s focus on driving user adoption. For enterprise buyers, it’s a clear signal to listen closely next week for what is coming.
Countdown to Samsung’s Galaxy XR Reveal
It’s clear that Samsung isn’t merely entering the XR race – it’s positioning itself to define the next era of immersive technology. The company’s promise of an experience only they can deliver, shows faith in an ecosystem designed to stand apart – and to drive real-world innovation at enterprise scale.. The arrival of the headset could signal a new standard for immersive productivity – blending AI, hardware, and collaboration tools into a unified ecosystem.
Even the name carries meaning. Samsung explained that the codename “Moohan” was chosen for its meaning – “infinity” in Korean. When Galaxy XR arrives next week, it won’t just open new realities, it’ll unlock a Moohan of possibilities.
