- Samsung was spotted rolling out an update for its Camera Assistant app on Galaxy that surprisingly mentions “3D capture” and its “Galaxy XR headset.”
- The feature says users can “create spatial photos and videos for Galaxy XR headsets,” though it’s not working properly just yet.
- A report from August claimed Samsung is preparing to debut its Project Moohan headset on September 29.
Samsung’s premium XR headset looks a little more real after a recent update to a Galaxy app adds surprising support.
A post by SamMobile highlights an replace for Samsung’s Camera Assistant app on its Galaxy telephones, which immediately mentions “Galaxy XR headsets.” When activated, the newsletter came upon a floating banner at the telephone’s viewfinder that claims “3-D seize.” Additionally, on the most sensible, the app informs the person that there must be extra gentle ahead of it might take a “3-D photograph.”
In Camera Assistant’s settings, the 3-D seize characteristic’s description reads, “Add a 3-D seize approach to the highest of the preview so you’ll be able to create spatial pictures and movies for Galaxy XR headsets.”
While this turns out thrilling, the newsletter needed to undergo some hoops ahead of it would even see the characteristic on this capability. Reportedly, the replace for Camera Assistant, v4.0.0.3, has best rolled out for the new Galaxy S25 FE; however, it could only be activated after transferring the updated app to a Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The safest (and current) speculation is that Samsung is still finalizing this software in preparation for its XR headset.
Getting ready for Galaxy XR?
The hype has been building for Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset, which we’ve known as Project Moohan for a while now. A report from the end of August out of South Korea claimed Samsung could announce Project Moohan on September 29. Speculation says the company could follow this up with a market launch in mid-October in South Korea before other markets.
Those same rumors add that Project Moohan could cost somewhere between “2.5 and 4 million won,” which roughly equates to $1,800–$2,800. Comparisons to Apple’s Vision Pro continue to be made, and it seems Samsung’s headset could see under the competition’s $3,500 price tag.
Google had Samsung’s Galaxy XR headset at its I/O event earlier this year, where Android Central had a chance to demo the product. The headset earned top marks for visuals and “natural” navigation across its apps. If Samsung is preparing to launch, we’re only a few weeks away from seeing it.
