The new OS supports a range of devices, including Samsung's Moohan mixed reality headset, which features advanced capabilities like eye and hand tracking. Google’s partnerships with Qualcomm and other manufacturers will help create a diverse ecosystem for Android XR. Android XR is designed to simplify app development and support for existing applications, using open standards familiar to developers. This approach contrasts with previous efforts and aims to attract more developers to the XR space.
