Viewers can tune in and experience the launch and additional AI wonders.
Samsung announced today (Oct 14) that it will organize a Galaxy event named “Worlds Wide Open” on October 21 at 10 pm ET. This event will feature the complete unveiling of its XR headset, Project Moohan, along with the multimodal AI features it will offer. With this confirmation now in hand, our current interest lies in whether or not the U.S. will experience a simultaneous launch.
Samsung is inviting viewers back to yet another Galaxy-focused event this autumn, as the company gears up to disclose what’s next for AI and Android’s XR platform.
In a media release to Android Central, Samsung indicated that users should brace themselves for the Galaxy event titled “Worlds Wide Open.” This event is scheduled for later this month on October 21 at 10 pm ET (7 pm PT). Worlds Wide Open will be broadcast on Samsung’s main website, as well as its YouTube channel. Central to the discussion is what the company is set to unveil: Project Moohan, which is Samsung’s first XR headset.
AI is believed to have directed Samsung’s focus with this headset, as it collaborated with partners like Google and Qualcomm.
Project Moohan aims to deliver to consumers a headset that is finely tuned with its AI software for immersive intelligence. Samsung hints that Project Moohan will “merge everyday utility with immersive new experiences, unlocking an entirely new realm of possibilities and establishing a new standard for XR.”
Included in this is Samsung’s AI software, which the announcement suggests has undergone a multimodal enhancement.
In anticipation of the World Wide Open event, users who reserve “the latest Galaxy device are eligible to receive $100 credit.” This credit can be applied towards additional eligible product purchases.
Immersive Intelligence for daily use
After numerous speculations regarding when we might see Samsung’s Project Moohan, and even a previously missed projected date, we finally have confirmation.
In September, we were taken aback by the headset’s brief appearance at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit. The device was prominently showcased inside a glass enclosure with Samsung’s branding displayed. Attendees could view the headset from various angles, as more intriguing details, including its specifications and features, remained undisclosed. However, this did increase the excitement surrounding the company’s inaugural XR headset utilizing its dedicated Android platform.
Some speculations indicate the device may include Sony 4K micro-OLED displays, which could result in a 1.3-inch display internally. Samsung has already announced a date, so we won’t have to continue this guessing game for much longer.
One question that still lingers is whether the U.S. will see Project Moohan launching simultaneously with South Korea. Earlier reports suggested this could be a strategic decision from Samsung as it “evaluates” the headset’s sales performance.
