- We have our first look right to Samsung Moohan project
- MKBHD has also shown Android XR Fetaures
- Gemini seems to be incredible in the arles ar
Thanks to a video on its YouTube channel, MKBHD, Marques Brownlee has given us our best appearance to the Samsung and VR of Google VR headphones prototype, and the Android XR platform as a whole. He does some exciting things, but there are some important questions (*cough* price *cough*) that we still need to answer.
Starting with the hardware, and we could see some key details of headphones design, even if it takes into account that this design of this prototype may not coincide with that of the consumption version that will be launched at the end of this year. However, as is, however, the similarities with the Apple Vision Pro van beyond the silhouette of the device.
There is no head belt, but rather a single adjustable target belt missions on the back. Brownlee says that this, combined with the facial interface differently, means that it is comfortable without one (unlike vision pro).
Like Apple headphones, the device is based on an external battery. One difference here is that you can connect the USB-C cable to the official battery or in any battery you choose (although there may be risks if you use an unofficial package). I expected this subtle design update; It allows you to decide if you want a more elegant package or a more voluminous battery with a much longer battery life, according to your needs.
Attend
Speaking of the goal Pro, Moohan borrows his optional light blockers. These supplements allow you to block light for a more immersive virtual reality experience. Alternatively, you can remove them to see more from their real environment, ideal for mixed reality, since it has a better connection with the real world.
On that subject, the quality of mixed reality seemed solid, although it is difficult to say too The recording of their passage cameras is higher than what the user experiences. So we will have to try it first hand to understand how good it is for mixed reality.
Finally, we learned Project Moohan lacks its typical V controllers and, on the other hand, depends solely on a hand tracking (more or less, more about that at one time). This could change, but the monitoring of the hand seemed reliable enough. It coincides closely with the hand tracking style used by the headphones of Meta Missions, which makes you reach to touch and point a little more than the Apple Vision Pro. This should help applications creators to carry their XR applications from goal Systems to Android XR.
Gemini is made for ar glasses
This is a good point to convert into software. Brownlee focuses on Android XR Gemini integrations, which to be fair seem ordered.
This XR version of Gemini Live is as intelligent as the version of your smartphone, with many of the same characteristics: it can talk to it and can even be inspired by the real world that surrounds you. Brownlee demonstrated an interesting trick, where he raised a book for the headset cameras and asked “Can you take me here?” To which Moohan replied “of course, that seems like Wadi in Jordan” before opening the Google Maps application in the approximate location of where the image was taken (even Rainbolt cannot escape from the lifting of AI).
It also comes with a built -in circle to search, allowing Brownlee to use AI to try to search the website examples of the shoes he was wearing or art in the wall of the room. He also highlighted how Gemini allows you to open applications with your voice, which makes a less physically demanding form interact with XR.
In general, however, I am a bit disappointed. Gemini is a fun that includes for the device, but could see it working much better in glasses compared to a headset, since it is unlikely that you walk with Moohan in its day to day, unlike the intelligent glasses AR. The other software teasing, the XR versions of existing Android applications, nor did they ignite my world.
This is where Apple Vision Pro fell. It does not show us much more utility of Moohan than your regular smartphone and a pair of basic smart glasses, such as the Xreal Air 2, which project your screen in front of you.
That said, they are still the first days. Samsung and Google could still convince XR developers to create exclusive and more significant uses for Moohan than their other devices cannot imitate. Obviously, much of this criticism depends on the price of Moohan, which Samsung remains tight. If that changes, we will make sure to keep it in the loop.
