The first device to be compatible with it is the mixed-reality headset that Google is building with Samsung and Qualcomm, codenamed Project Moohan. Developers can already access a preview of the development environment for native, Unity, WebXR. This trend is expected to continue in 2025, but there should be a rebound in 2026.
The main one regards the 4 devices we were waiting for this year , which in our opinion should have changed everything: Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro, Google-Samsung Headset, and PSVR 2. The Unity Beta to develop for the Vision Pro is still not available, so many devs like me can’t even play with the emulator.
In any case, even if you do that, you’ll still be able to play SteamVR content only through November 2026. We don’t have much information about them, but Samsung trademarked the name “Samsung Glasses” some time ago, so this may be a possible name. I cross my fingers, but I don’t have high hopes.
Unity to Integrate Vagon’s RT3D Streaming Service This week, Unity, a leading XR and RT3D content creation engine, announced a new partnership with Vagon, experts in 3D content streaming. Further leaks confirm that Samsung’s device will use a 6-core Android 14 chipset, similar to the popular Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset.

This headset should go into production in the second half of 2025, so realistically be available in 2026. Apple claims the M4 has a 50% more powerful CPU an d 4 times more powerful GPU than the M2 chipset mounted on the Vision Pro, so an M5 chipset may give the new Vision Pro unprecedented performances for a standalone MR headset.
A leaked image from the Oculus team shows that the company is working to implement body tracking inside the Oculus Unity SDK. Microsoft is keeping pursuing AR, and in fact, part of the resources that were devoted to HoloLens 3 are now dedicated to what is known as project Bondi, which is the AR glasses that Microsoft is building with Samsung.
Only the second edition in 2026 will be actually released to the market. Rumors already talk about a new AR headset produced by Microsoft in collaboration with Samsung that should substitute it, but we have no sure info about it. If you are looking for a job and you are compatible with one of these figures… send us your curriculum.
Partnering with manufacturers like Acer, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, and HP, the company fuelled the rise of affordable headsets. However, even if you dont, youll only be able to use SteamVR apps through November 2026. The partnership is still in its early stages, and mass production isnt set to start until 2026.
