Samsung's VR Headset Looks a Lot Like Apple Vision Pro

[MacRumors]

At its Unpacked event, Samsung showed off its upcoming "Project Moohan" AR/VR headset, which is designed to compete with the Vision Pro. Some users might even mistake the headset for a Vision Pro, given the design similarities.

Samsung is developing the headset in collaboration with Google, and it will run Google's Android XR operating system. Google introduced Android XR late last year. Android XR and Samsung's headset will support being immersed in a virtual environment or staying present in the real world, similar to how Apple allows ‌Apple Vision Pro‌ users to adjust the Vision Pro immersion level by activating or shutting out the real world passthrough view provided by cameras.

The headset from Samsung will support Google features like Gemini, Google's AI assistant, providing access to device controls and insight into what the wearer is seeing. Samsung has described Project Moohan as "lightweight" and "ergonomically optimized" for "maximum comfort," but no details on weight are available yet.

Project Moohan will be the first headset designed for Android XR, and it is set to launch later in 2025.

Is anything unique with Samsung anymore

It will probably sell like it aswell 🍋

That is pretty comical, right down to the light seal that is interchangeable. They clearly pull ideas from each other, but damn.

Samsung has completely lost their identity, they mimic Apple on everything. That new Galaxy S25 looks just like my iPhone 14 pro.

Fire up those photocopiers

 

[daneoni]

Sad thing is the AVP is still a solution looking for a problem. Yet Sammy is happy to start its photocopier.

copycat at their best!

So, there is something good with the Vision Pro? Samsung seems to think so ...

Imitation is the best form of flattery - no matter how much you hate the person/company you’re flattering.

Samsung hasn’t had an original idea since 2006.

It looks more like Quest Pro but with Vision Pro aesthetic.

You sure you didn't confuse the actual iPhone next to the S25 on the macrumors story?

 

[turbineseaplane]

We are bagging on others for copying?

Did we forget about the Apple iPhone Pixel ...err .. 17

What will be the price? The good part of this Samsung event is that Apple really has to shift gears to not end like Nokia.

It took Nokia 7 years…

No, that's an S25 Ultra. I'm talking about the 6.2" S25...

 

[turbineseaplane]

They may have copied the AVP aesthetic, but they are smartly going to have it running a far more open and desirable to develop for OS

When you copy your classmates school work. Forgetting they have an F in that class. 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely not their sales 😂😂💁‍♂️

 

[Dr McKay]

I wonder what this will be competing with, Apples segment or will it be targeting the likes of the Quest 3?

And when you look what’s “new” on iPhone… it’s coming from others who have had it for many years now.

It also seems like Samsung has more software engineers as Apple. Because Samsung was able to fully integrate Gemini with their own offerings while Apple’s Siri asks: you want me to use ChatGPT for that 😅

Samsung also integrated a new layer of privacy defense which is able to withstand the next quantum computing.

While you make somewhat of a point. Nokia was never the size Apple is. I just hope today’s Apple doesn’t end up like late 80’s Apple. Though if they keep doing what they’re doing, let them.

I think somewhere in the middle at a more reasonable price.

Samsung is also able to build it in scale.

Not since the Galaxy S5

Nokia was the marketleader in the mobile phone industry. I know Apple is bigger but seeing where their revenue is coming from and the state of their offerings today… Timmy should be worried!

 

[uiop.]

Samsung is so gross. Zero ability to come up with original designs or ideas.

 

[Donstil-nl]

It’s been 1.5 years since the introduction and a year since the launch of the Vision Pro, yet Samsung still only has a non-working demo at their event. That’s not a good sign, they need to step up!
