Samsung's first standalone headset is coming in 2025, running Google's new Android XR operating system and powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset. Beyond this, Samsung isn't yet sharing specifications. I went hands-on with an early headset developer kit showcasing Google's software and Samsung's hardware.
Continued steps in that evolutionary path were taken yesterday at Apple’s iPhone 12 event. For all of the reasons we’ve examined , 5G will better enable “AR everywhere,” including low-latency graphics rendering, and millimeter-precision device localization. Triangulating Clues in Apple’s AR Roadmap.
Image by Samsung). Samsung is close to launching an XR device, or maybe two. Last month, we got to know that (according to a rumor) Samsung is working together with Microsoft on new AR glasses, most probably powered by a Qualcomm chipset. Samsung has apparently completed a prototype, and “is deciding the release date”.
The firm plans to debut the Light device in May 2024 and the Super headset in Q4 this year, just as other major vendors like LG and Samsung are looking to enter the headset market. However, to achieve a low-latency connection, users must purchase the 60G Airlink product for $299, which ensures improved streaming capabilities.
0:00 / 0:19 1 Google's Android XR platform is set to debut in Samsung's standalone headset later this year. Like Apple Vision Pro and PlayStation VR2, Samsung's headset features internal cameras pointed at your eyes, combined with infrared illuminators that help them see. But as with Inseye Lumi, the tradeoff is accuracy.
On the other hand, firms like Samsung plan to debut smart glasses, which may leverage the firm’s wider smartphone portfolio-Apple is already doing this with Vision Pro. Vagon also claims that the value of RT3D content streaming will only grow as AI advancements accelerate the creation of high-fidelity XR environments.
Top news of the week (Image by Apple) Apple Vision Pro 2 may come in 2026 The rumors about the Apple Vision Pro 2 continue. Chinese manufacturers BOE and SeeYA may provide cheaper displays in higher quantities than Sony is doing now, while Samsung may be supplying the DRAM components. What a time to be alive!
The exception was that on visionOS 2, Apple is gives enterprise companies raw access to Vision Pro's passthrough cameras for non-public internal apps, but this requires a special licence from Apple and is restricted to "in a business setting only". Meta software engineer Roberto Coviello's QuestCameraKit samples.
Regarding the glasses, I have not big hopes for true AR glasses, but I think that thanks to Facebook and Apple, finally we’ll have some important smartglasses entering the market , making the mainstream think about wearing something on their face to enjoy notifications from the phone. Phone AR will be always more popular.
Play For Dream's latest headset is a blatant Apple Vision Pro clone but with a Quest Pro style rear battery. But unlike the cheap Chinese knockoff we tried at CES in January, this new headset actually has the specs (though likely not the software) to rival Apple.
It's a more premium option for higher-priced headsets, including those designed to take on Apple Vision Pro. It inherits all the advantages of the base XR2 Gen 2 architecture, including the hardware acceleration for camera passthrough that is said to reduce end-to-end latency to around 12 milliseconds.
Rumors suggest Apple might be working on some new AR specs too, and Samsung might even decide to switch its upcoming XR headset out for a pair of smart glasses. Even the latency was pretty impressive (just 50ms), meaning you wouldn’t have to worry too much about lag from your apps.
New Chinese Headset Is An Apple Vision Pro & Quest Pro Crossover This Chinese company’s latest headset is a blatant Apple Vision Pro clone but with a Quest Pro style rear battery, powered by Qualcomm’s XR2+ Gen 2 chipset. UploadVR David Heaney Now, the company plans to bring the headset to "anywhere in the world" via Kickstarter.
While Apple Vision Pro validated much of what Meta (formerly Facebook) did in VR over the last decade, the headset also echoes work under Google's umbrella at Job Simulator development studio Owlchemy Labs. When we first tried the Apple Vision Pro, we were like, 'yes!' With Apple, you can use Swift UI.
He also reports a very smooth and low-latency tracking ; The tracking of the controllers is good but it could be better. We all wonder who can be the Facebook competitor, and we often talk about Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, but we usually forgot about Huawei. The importance of Huawei.
Regarding big brands, I expect Apple and Facebook still to wait a bit before releasing something, while Magic Leap will have to make its move to come out from the quicksands. As for the big names, I expect that Facebook, Apple, and the others will still wait : reports talk about these companies releasing their headsets from 2021 on.

’ According to insiders, the La Jolla prototype, initially planned for release in the coming years, used similar display technology to the Apple Vision Pro to offer an alternative to the breakout device. However, Meta cancelled La Jolla due to the cost of the competitive OLED display technology.
Not only is Meta’s Connect event coming up quickly, but Apple and Microsoft are also working towards establishing XR productivity tools. In the wake of MR headsets and software coming soon, Google and Samsung quickly reacted – internally – in a bid to create a competing device with an apparent lack of direction.
Source: Samsung. The combination of these ingredients are solving for some of the biggest challenges video passthrough faces such as latency. Source: Apple. Hardware. #2 2 Smartphones are becoming even more powerful AR machines with spatial sensors that will unlock advanced AR use cases.
Avid readers will certainly ask about latency since the Portal is a remote gaming devices. A review from IGN has demonstrated the device's minimal latency during gameplay. As a result, the handheld is not compatible with existing wireless headsets from Apple, Beats, Samsung, and even Sony itself.
Every major market leader is getting involved, from Snap, to Meta potentially even Samsung and Apple. All that, and you get a spatial computing solution thats a fraction of the price of the Apple Vision Pro. Plus, it gives you a 3DoF experience thats completely edge-to-edge, with virtually no latency whatsoever.
Here’s what you actually need to know: 5G offers faster download and upload speeds, more bandwidth, lower latency, and enough throughput to support a household of people trying to connect to the… Read more. There’s more to 5G than overblown marketing hype and some really weird (and in some cases, dangerous ) conspiracy theories.
When I first laid eyes (and hands) upon Samsung's new Galaxy S22 Ultra, I assure you it was not love at first sight. The "Ultra'' designation has typically been the go-to option for deep-pocketed Samsung fans who want the biggest and best display paired with the most (and best?) Turns out, Samsung was right and I'm eating crow.
Zhou said this technology is the first to stream and play near-zero latency 360-degree VR videos in 4K to 8K resolution over regular Wi-Fi and LTE for mobile – and eventually tethered VR headsets. “As There was no practical, consumer-level solution to these problems even a few years ago due to hardware limitations.”.
x8 PCIe interface, which enables high throughput and low latency transactions and utilizes the latest NVMe protocol in order to deliver increased performance and efficiency from a single device. M IOPS of random performance, over 7 GB/s of throughput, and ultra-low transactional latency of 20 us.” link] a-hire/.
“Major NAND flash suppliers including Samsung Electronics, Micron Technology and Toshiba have rolled out 64-layer 3D NAND flash products, said the sources. The CPU bogs down under load, resulting in frequent latency spikes up to 250ms (that’s like going around the globe twice, for reference).
We were all waiting for an Apple announcement, hoping that it could bring back some enthusiasm into the field, and it seems that the Vision Pro is having some beneficial effects , indeed. Apple showed investors that XR is not a fad, and even if it is still in its early stages, it is going to stay. Let’s all hope so.
You’ve done everything from IBM Watson, to Google, to HTC, Samsung. And if you have a Bose AR-enabled device, you can download that for either the Google Play store or the Apple App Store. Michael: Yeah, I thought it was the ping problem, or the latency problem. What an amazing piece of technology.

Apple Vision Pro is a very impressive fusion of hardware and software, but it's by no means perfect. Apple Vision Pro Specs, Features & Details Apple officially revealed the full Vision Pro specs when opening preorders today. And Apple did not send UploadVR a review unit, we bought our own. But does it deliver?
Amazon promises “single-digit latency” XR streaming. Amazon has announced some weeks ago “Wavelength”, a new offering of its AWS services, that should provide “single-digit latency” over 5G networks. To have such a low latency, the company needs very fast 5G networks and edge servers very close to the client.
They’ve already got, you know, in your Apple phone, RF detection is already built in. But you need ubiquitous, zero-latency wearable computing to do it. I happen to think Apple’s stealth way into augmented reality is not going to be optical going to be based on airpods. That’s the beginning. Alan: Interesting.

The drama about Unity’s new pricing models has set the whole game development community on fire, while we had an unexpected leak about the Pico 5 and some updates on the Apple Vision Pro. This is something many of us predicted correctly: Apple showed how the Vision Pro can record volumetric videos, but in some contexts, this may feel cringe.
The problem is not the headset, but the controllers, that maybe to spare battery are emitting very low IR light, that can’t be detected very well outside, where the Sun emits too many IR rays; A Redditor has published a super cool guide on how to obtain the most from your router to have very low latency on Virtual Desktop.

It’s too much time that I hear this rumor, and Samsung teased that it was interested in a headset mixing AR and VR, that is exactly the main topic of this reference design. Personally, I don’t believe this will happen , since Apple has always said it is not interested in VR, but a rumor says so. 5G is not a magic bullet.
Samsung starts off the month debuting its VR Internet browser for Gear VR, becoming the first to offer a VR browser. Zuckerberg makes the declaration as Samsung announces the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge smartphones will ship for a limited time with the Gear VR for free, along with $50 worth of some of the best games available for the platform.

The headset will be available for purchase in the U.S.,
So I would say that one of the most important ones — if not the most important one — is actually related to latency. When we move to a 5G network, there are some fundamental changes on the overall architecture of the mobile network, that allow us to reduce significantly the latency of the connections as well. So I know it.
