Samsung and Google are collaborating on a mixed reality VR headset known as Project Moohan, which is designed to compete with Apple's Vision Pro and will operate on Android XR while incorporating Google Gemini AI.

This partnership aims to establish a unified AI ecosystem that enhances user experiences across various devices, including the forthcoming Galaxy S25 smartphone.

The Galaxy S25 series will debut Google’s Project Astra technology, enabling live AI functionalities for applications such as YouTube and gaming.

At its recent Unpacked event, Samsung demonstrated real-time AI capabilities, allowing devices to interpret visual information through their cameras and screens.

To improve AI's effectiveness, Samsung introduced a Personal Data Engine designed to better utilize personal data, although the specifics regarding its security and management remain vague.

The relationship between AI devices and personal data management is crucial, as effective AI relies on rich datasets, which has posed challenges for current products.

While Project Moohan will function independently with its own battery, the upcoming smart glasses will rely on smartphones for processing power, raising concerns about battery life and overall performance.

In addition to Project Moohan, Samsung and Google are developing smart glasses that will leverage Gemini AI, positioning them against existing products like Meta’s Ray-Bans.

Project Moohan is equipped with advanced features such as hand and eye tracking, aimed at enhancing real-time interactions through AI assistance.

Further announcements regarding these technologies are anticipated at the Google I/O developer conference in May or June, as well as at the next Samsung Unpacked event in the summer.
