Google and Samsung team up to launch new smart glasses and VR headsets

ft.com

Google is partnering with Samsung to develop new smart glasses and virtual-reality headsets, marking a return to the market nearly ten years after discontinuing Google Glass. The first device, based on a new Android version, is set for release next year. This collaboration, known as "Project Moohan," aims to compete with Apple and Meta. The Samsung headset will offer high-quality displays at a lower price than Apple's Vision Pro, which has seen limited consumer interest since its launch. Google is also introducing its Android XR system for other manufacturers. The company hopes advancements in AI will enhance user interaction with these new devices, improving on past efforts in the smart glasses and virtual reality markets.
