At the 2021 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Samsung unveiled the leaked XR headset, and it appears to be a budget version of Apple’s much anticipated Vision Pro. It may not have all the features you would expect from an Apple product, but it is definitely a good option to have if you’re looking for an affordable virtual reality headset.
The Samsung XR headset is powered by Samsung’s own OS called “Tizen” and features an 8MP RGB camera mounted on the forehead. It is also equipped with its own 3D audio and five built-in sensors to track movements and orientation. But one of the key elements of these headsets is their ergonomic design: the double-jointed frame allows for a comfortable and secure fit.
The XR headset connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and a USB-C connection. A number of gaming and XR apps are available in the headset’s main apps store. The headset is powered by the Android operating system, making it an ideal choice for gamers and XR enthusiasts.
In terms of image quality, the Samsung XR headset doesn’t match the high-resolution imagery of the Apple Vision Pro. However, the headset should be able to provide a decent viewing experience. The headset is supposed to offer a 120-degree field of view, which is reasonable but still not as wide as the Vision Pro’s 140-degree FoV.
The Samsung XR headset may not have all the features of the Apple Vision Pro, but it is still a great way to experience virtual reality on a budget. The headset was designed to be easier to use than the Vision Pro and can provide a good entry point into the world of XR for those new to the technology.
So if you’re interested in experiencing virtual reality without breaking the bank, the Samsung XR headset is a solid choice.
