Top news of the week (Image by Samsung) Samsung XR headset may launch in Q3 2025 Two new reports gave us potential updates on the Samsung Project Moohan headset. South Korean news outlet The Elec instead reports that Samsung will use Sonys new 1.35-inch Of course, they are rumors, so take them with a grain of salt.
Top news of the week (Image by VRTUOLUO) A leak shows a prototype of the Samsung XR headset We finally have a leak of the Samsung headset that makes us see something about it. The Chinese magazine VRTUOLUO has published some photos of what looks like an early prototype of the device.
I’m sure that there will also be other offers announced in the next couple of days , so be sure to check out the main VR magazines and communities to stay up to date about them. The specifications on paper look nice, and for sure the one between Google and Samsung looks like a strong partnership.
For sure I hope that the next Unity CEO will be more interested in the community and the technology and less into advertisement and monetization… Unity is the most used game engine by XR people, so the course decided by the new CEO will impact many of us… and also me, since I’m a Unity dev since 2014!
My article about Android XR granting permissions for the camera frames has earned me mentions in important magazines like Road To VR , Upload VR , and Android Authority ! I hope you had a good Valentines Day with your special ones and that in general, you are happy, too. Do you want to know one of the reasons for my happiness?
More info (Leaked pictures of Quest 3s shell) More info (Quest 3s passed FCC certification) Samsung MR headset is close, but the endgame may be AR glasses It’s not a secret that Samsung is working with Google and Qualcomm on a new mixed reality headset that could rival Apple Vision Pro and that should be released this year.
Apple has also probably the most powerful brand in the world , so when the announcement about the Apple visor will happen, every single magazine in this world (mine included) will talk about it, and the web will be flooded with memes, analyses, social posts about it. Think about ARKit.
If this partnership is exclusive, Meta has just got a huge edge over its competitors like Samsung or Google. But a new report in Korean magazine “Daily Korea” states that Samsung may not be in a hurry to release its headset anymore, because Meta canceled its Quest Pro 2 plans with LG, and Apple is postponing its Vision Pro 2.
You can access it at this link: [link] ) Top news of the week (Image by Microsoft) Microsoft kills Windows Mixed Reality Microsoft has decided to pull the plug on the Windows Mixed Reality platform , the one of the WMR headsets by Acer, Asus, HP, Lenovo, and Samsung which were the first to introduce inside-out tracking in the VR ecosystem.
All the YouTubers and VR magazines talked about it, and it seems that the game is very fun. Samsung is still working on AR glasses and its new internal prototype seems to be called SM-I120. Mindport helps you in building your Unity VR experiences. This seems like a great deal! Among Us VR has been released! Learn more.
This trend will continue in 2021 : the new LiDAR sensor, which is rumored to be installed in all future iPhones, will for sure be copied also by Android phones (Samsung?) There are vaiours solutions to also export Unity XR projects to the web (Image by Mozilla). and I can expect more realistic filters with depth occlusion to come soon.
Then, you can create MR applications, and so code in Unity and at the same time see the preview of your 3D game in 3D in front of you. Unity releases the XR Interaction Toolkit. The plugin is currently in preview, and Unity seeks feedback for fixing the bugs and adding new features. The possible applications are endless.
Major tech giants like Samsung, Google, Apple and Nvidia are the chief contributors to VR market and at the same time the chief researchers that can help explore more versatile use cases of this impactful technology within the next few years. If you are a game developer in unity or even just a beginner do give VR development a try!
But in China, they are very famous, and now they are also organizing a big event about XR called FBEC with hosts from all the major VR companies (HTC, Unity, Alibaba, Huawei, etc…). So we agreed on a written interview on WeChat, which I report to you here below.
Samsung AR glasses. Probably the true surprise of the whole show has been Samsung, that during its press conference has teased some AR glasses. Yeah, the 3D model of the trainer seems taken from the Unity Asset Store… Samsung has not talked about the glasses, not even revealing the name, or the specifications.
Should it primarily be running on the latest and greatest Samsung and Pixel devices with high-performance AR features, or should it be less intensive to run on more devices? Unity AR Foundation is a helpful framework for cross-platform augmented reality app development.
If these Facebook features proved to be popular, more developers would use them, and finally, Facebook could have more power on the VR development tools , after the failed acquisition of Unity. I don’t know if it is the plan, but for sure it is a possibility. If you were always unsure if buying a headset or not, the time is now!
We were so blessed to find literally the man that wrote the book on Unity [chuckles] Joe Hocking, to join the team. And he, with the new phones -- the iPhone 12, and the iPad, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 and up -- they all have infrared scanners on them now. And Lewis Gardner on our CMS. Just in time!

But they claim having also seen a Unity experience running from it (maybe it will be possible to develop for Horizon with Unity, as it is possible with VRChat), so developers may still be able to create more complex stuff. Unity GPU We recently enabled Unity’s GPU Profiler on Quest and Go. Developer tools. Well, ZERO.
This has been a pretty interesting week for me, having spoken at XR Safety Week and Stereopsia, and having published two cool articles about creating innovative SteamVR controllers and using Application SpaceWarp in Unity to almost double the framerate of your application. Microsoft and Samsung may be partnering for an AR device.
While there have been many other news from the Oculus Connect 5, this has been the most important one and the one about which every worldwide VR magazine has talked about. We are at the same level of Vive Focus or Vive Pro… probably the display is the same made by Samsung. Oculus Quest has been the rockstar of this event.
And so we already have a set of integrations with proprietary tools like Unity and Real Render and so on. And just like on Google Sheets, you can search Shutterstock to preview images and you want to do the same thing on Magic Leap or Hololens or any 3D application, like Unity or Instagram AR. I guess it would be still Unity, for now.
