Igeekphone News, May 21st: Technology media Android Central published a blog post today (May 21st), sharing the scene at Google’s 2025 I/O Developer Conference. The initial experience of trying on the first Android XR headset (the Project Moohan mixed reality headset from Samsung).
The on-site staff selected custom-made glasses clips based on the prescription of the media reporter’s glasses and helped him wear and fix them to his head. The media reporter said that the official has not disclosed the specific weight of the headset, but it can be adjusted in tightness through the rear knob. When worn, it has an excellent sense of balance and is stable without slipping.
The device needs to be connected to a slightly heavier power module. After being placed in the pocket, it is powered through the cable on the left side. This headset does not require a fixed connection to a PC or a host, allowing users to move freely.
In terms of the operation of the headset, the media reporter said that the control method is simple and intuitive. By pinching the gesture, one can select objects, move Windows or adjust the size. Pinching with the palm facing oneself will bring up the main menu.
The journalist has Meta’s Quest 3 and Apple’s Vision Pro headset. After the initial experience, he believes that the gesture tracking of the Samsung headset is precise, the operation is almost error-free, the virtual hand contour is highly synchronized with the real hand position, and the response is sensitive. The headset defaults to the mixed reality perspective mode, and the color camera images are clear and vivid. Journalists can even see their colleagues queuing up behind them taking pictures.
In terms of functionality, the Project Moohan is equipped with the Gemini intelligent assistant. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip and large-capacity memory installed on the headset, when zooming in and out of the map through the pinching gesture in Google Maps, the scrolling is smooth with almost no delay.
During the virtual tour of Yosemite, Gemini accurately identified the nearby landmark El Capitan (a 3,000-foot-tall granite boulder) and proactively asked the wearer if they knew about its geology and if there was any previous history of rock climbing.
