Android Introducing Galaxy XR, the first Android XR headset Share Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Mail Copy link [https://blog.google/] The Samsung Galaxy XR is powered by Android XR, an operating system that blends digital experiences with your physical surroundings. Shahram Izadi VP & GM, XR Share Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Mail Copy link [https://blog.google/] A person seen from behind, wearing the Samsung Galaxy XR headset, sits at a desk and interacts with three floating spatial windows: an immersive video of a city, Google Maps, and a Chrome browser. Today, Samsung introduced Galaxy XR, the very first device built on Android XR, our new operating system for next-generation headsets and glasses. Android XR combines Gemini's helpfulness with an awareness of your surroundings to bring you new ways to use an AI assistant and experience apps and games. The Galaxy XR headset offers a first look at this new way of interacting with technology. Try Android XR on the new Galaxy XR Galaxy XR gives you an infinite screen to explore your apps, with Gemini by your side. It lets you switch between being fully immersed in a virtual environment and staying present in the real world, and you can navigate the interface naturally with your voice, hands and eyes. Since it's Android, you can fill its infinite screen with your favorite apps from Google Play. You can access Google apps that have been reimagined for XR, totally new experiences made for Android XR by developers, and millions of mobile and tablet apps, including: * Apps from top streaming services like Crunchyroll, HBO Max, Peacock, and more * New versions of Google Maps, Google Photos, YouTube, Google TV, Chrome and Meet. * Immersive games from studios like Mirrorscape, Owlchemy Labs, and Resolution Games. * Over 50 new experiences made for XR from Adobe, Calm, Fox Sports, MLB and more And because Android XR is built on open standards with support for tools like OpenXR, WebXR, and Unity, even more innovative content is on the way. But what makes this experience truly transformative is that Gemini is built for it. On Galaxy XR, Gemini Live can better understand what you're seeing and doing, making it easier to get the help you need or take action on your behalf across your apps -- with just a conversation. Here's three examples of how Galaxy XR opens up new ways to watch, explore and create: Enjoy movies and memories When it's time to unwind, the Galaxy XR turns any room into your private theater. With YouTube, you can dive into the world's largest library of immersive 180 and 360-degree VR content, or check out the new spatial tab for content that creators have converted to 3D. You can also kick back and watch movies in Google TV on a massive, resizable screen. With Google Photos, you can convert your entire existing library of 2D photos and videos into 3D, letting you step into your memories. As you're watching videos, viewing photos, or playing games, Gemini is ready to help. For example, if you're catching up on basketball highlights, you can just ask about the stats of a player on-screen. Gemini understands what you're seeing and gets you the info in real time. Get closer to the action with immersive 180 and 360-degree videos on YouTube. Turn any room into your private movie theater with Google TV. Turn your existing 2D photos and videos into 3D memories you can step back into with Google Photos. Explore your world With Google Maps on Android XR, you can explore the world in stunning 3D with Immersive View. Walk the streets of Tokyo before you book a trip, soar over the Grand Canyon or even revisit your old neighborhood, all from your living room. And with Gemini, you can simply look at a landmark like the Colosseum while you're exploring and ask, "What's the story behind this building?" to get an answer instantly. You can also use Circle to Search on a virtual object -- or a real-world item in your room -- to get helpful information from the web about anything you see without breaking your flow. Explore the world in 3D with Google Maps, and just ask Gemini to learn more about what you're seeing. Use Circle to Search on digital content to get helpful information from the web without breaking your flow. Circle to Search works on objects in the real world, too. Just circle anything you see to learn more. Create your ultimate workspace With the Galaxy XR, you can have multiple apps open at any size -- your browser, your documents, your music app -- and arrange them all around you in a massive, private space. Imagine your Chrome tabs organized in an arc, using Flow in stunning detail, or taking a Google Meet call with video tiles you can expand to read expressions clearly. New apps, like Adobe's immersive video editing app Project Pulsar and TopHatch's sketching app Concepts, are also available today to help you create. You can even pair a keyboard and mouse or link your PC for a complete desktop experience. This is where Gemini becomes a true creative partner. You can brainstorm with Gemini about what you're looking at, and when your space gets too cluttered, just say, "Hey Google, organize these windows," and Gemini will instantly arrange them into a neat layout. With the Galaxy XR, your workspace is infinite. You can arrange multiple apps around you and switch seamlessly between tasks. A user wearing the Samsung Galaxy XR headset views three floating digital screens in a passthrough environment. On the left is the Flow website open in Chrome, in the center is a Google Docs document open to a script, and on the right is the Spotify app playing music. The user is in a brightly lit modern room.
