I tried out Android XR, Google’s latest attempt to take on Meta and Apple
- Google has introduced Android XR, their latest attempt at extended reality (XR) technology.
- The operating system incorporates Gemini AI, which helps the new OS reach a higher range of use cases for the company.
- Samsung's Project Moohan VR headset is a direct competitor to the Apple Vision Pro VR headset and has impressed users with its sharp and clear images.
- One of the highlights of Android XR system is the ability to effectively spatialize flat footage and generate depth perception for the viewers.
- Android XR is designed to adapt to the UI and functionality of the hardware's capability to provide the appropriate interface to users. It offloads processing workloads to a connected smartphone which carries out the processing and streams the pixels to the glasses for viewing.
- The Gemini AI is the most interesting aspect of the Android XR software platform which has eye tracking that can be controlled through calibration and supports ARCore and AR search natively.
- The multimodal control, consisting of hand movements, a physical desk equipped with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and voice command control, allows for a diverse range of controls.
- Lastly, Android XR represents a renewed commitment by Google to create a new operating system that can drive headsets, glasses, and other XR form factors going forward.
- Google has had its fair shot at VR, but Android XR represents a unique vision that can possibly rival competitors like Apple and Meta in the XR market.
- With Meta already announcing its plans to open up its Horizon OS ecosystem, the year 2022 could see a flurry of activity in the XR headset market.
