Samsung Project Moohan XR headset to use ‘Hey Gemini' voice command

Samsung’s Project Moohan XR headset

A few days ago, Samsung introduced its first XR headset in collaboration with Google, codenamed Project Mohan. This is the company's first XR headset, which will run on the Android XR operating system. However, the biggest highlight of the announcement of Samsung's Project Moohan headset we saw was the use of a modified ‘Hey Gemini’ voice command instead of ‘Hey Google.’

This is an exciting development, as it signals a shift away from traditional methods to launch the Google Assistant for seamless hands-free operation. It also marks a new era of AI interaction in the realm of extended reality (XR). It also signifies Google’s ongoing strategy of integrating Gemini AI’’s multimodal features into more future offerings.

Moreover, the whole operating system is built around AI, and this move aligns with Google's broader strategy to integrate Gemini into its expanding ecosystem of devices and services.

Pricing and other details about the device are still unknown, but this new XR headset from Samsung is expected to be available for purchase next year. It is poised to be a strong contender in the burgeoning virtual reality market, rivaling the likes of Apple Vision Pro and Meta’s Oculus headset.
