I finally tried Samsung's Project Moohan Android XR headset, and it was Google Gemini that stole the show
- The Project Moohan Android XR headset by Google and Samsung was tested by the writer post Sundar Pichai's Google I/O 2025 presentation.
- The headset, while resembling Apple Vision Pro, was considered a bit less premium, but the standout feature was the integration of Google Gemini.
- Gemini serves as the AI assistant, allowing for hands-free control and offering information based on real-world views captured by built-in cameras.
- The writer had a smooth experience interacting with Gemini, requesting information and navigation in an immersive 3D environment reminiscent of Google Earth.
- Though there were minor slowdowns, Gemini was highlighted as the most impressive aspect of the demo, leaving the writer eager for more time with the headset.
- In terms of hardware, Project Moohan felt lighter than Vision Pro, with a snug fit and an easy-to-use main control interface gesture.
- The headset lacked eye tracking during the demo, utilizing hand tracking for navigation and a depth effect for YouTube videos for a subtle 3D feel.
- The tight integration of Gemini was praised as the standout feature of Project Moohan, making the device genuinely useful and exciting.
- Despite a corded power pack, Project Moohan was comfortable to wear, hinting at promising potential provided Google nails the pricing and content lineup.
- Expected to launch by the end of 2025, Project Moohan aims to offer a tangible XR experience compared to earlier Google prototypes and could make a strong debut in the market.
