Samsung Unveils First-Party Controllers for Android XR Headset: Gaming and Beyond

Samsung’s Android XR Headset Controllers Samsung is reportedly preparing first-party controllers, model number ET-OI610, for its upcoming Android XR headset codenamed “Project Moohan.” The company plans to launch the headset later this year. Unlike Apple's Vision Pro, which relies solely on hand gestures, Samsung will offer optional physical controllers for tasks such as gaming.

Gesture Control

The Android XR headset uses outward-facing cameras to recognize hand gestures for UI control. Users can perform actions like tapping by pinching their thumb and forefinger together, pointing with a ray extending from their hand, and pinch-to-zoom. These gestures are designed to be intuitive and work well.

Controller Details

While the controllers are not bundled with the headset, they will likely be an additional purchase for users interested in more interactive experiences. No further details about the appearance or functionality of these controllers have been revealed yet.
