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.
