Android XR comes out swinging with our first look at Samsung Project Moohan, but the VR headset just makes me want AR glasses more

Samsung's VR headset prototype, Project Moohan, has been shown in a YouTube video by Marques Brownlee, along with some Android XR features.
Project Moohan has a similar design to the Apple Vision Pro headset, with a single adjustable strap round the back and optional light blockers.
It relies solely on hand tracking and supports mixed reality but lacks traditional VR controllers.
Android XR's Gemini feature is included, and is just as smart as your smartphone version, with many of the same features. It allows users to talk to it and search the web using voice.
Gemini would work a lot better on glasses than a headset, according to the article.
It is still early days, and Samsung and Google may be able to convince developers to create exclusive and meaningful uses for Moohan.
Samsung has not yet announced the price of Project Moohan.
TCL has three new smart glasses in the running for the best of 2025 and Asus' Tarius VR headset could use the Meta Quest 3's best feature to defeat it.

Automated reasoning and generative AI: Harness creativity with formal verifications

Automated reasoning, which uses formal logic and mathematical principles to verify statements and properties, offers a complement to modern machine learning approaches.
Generative AI models including Large Language Models (LLMs), have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating human-like text, code, and creative content but face challenges related to accuracy and reliability.
Organizations need reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems, especially for critical applications like financial services and healthcare.
Automated reasoning can provide mathematical guarantees of correctness within a given logical framework, while LLMs can handle complex, unstructured data and generalize to new situations.
Automated reasoning has been used within AWS to guarantee the security and reliability of core services including storage, virtualization, identity management, and cryptography.
Dafny is a verification-aware programming language that uses proof-based verification for code correctness, while Kani is a model checker for Rust that can prove properties about code by exploring all possible execution paths.
Automated reasoning coupled with generative AI, addresses the issue of "hallucinations" where AI models generate plausible but factually incorrect information.
One application of this combined approach is Amazon Bedrock Guardrails, which uses automated reasoning to validate LLM-generated responses against company policies and rules, and provides mathematical proof of correctness along with clear reasoning for why a response is valid or invalid.
Looking to the future, the integration of automated reasoning and generative AI represents a convergence of AI’s historical approaches and has the potential to play a crucial role in shaping the next generation of AI applications.
Organizations benefit from a reliable AI system with improved trust and operational efficiency through automated validation and faster response times, while maintaining scalability through consistent application of rules and updating policies.
