Samsung is developing a new high-end augmented reality (XR) headset with Google and Qualcomm. In August, images of the prototype of the XR headset leaked to the internet and RGB cameras and a depth sensor were revealed. A new rumor suggests that the device will allow users to sniff virtual environments and objects.Samsung XR’s fragrance support can make a difference
We do not know anything officially about XR, namely extended reality-based Samsung’s solution, but according to what is stated by a reliable source, the Samsung XR headset will be equipped with screens with ultra-high 3,000 ppi pixel density. Known as the Samsung XR or Galaxy XR, the device is said to support hand tracking as well as Apple’s Vision Pro model. The leaker claims that the XR head will also have fragrance support.It is unclear whether the device will be able to detect odors in the real environment or have advanced synthesis technology to produce artificial odors. If the latter were to happen, it would be a significant breakthrough, as no major consumer electronics company has been able to successfully add a working scent cloning feature to a VR or AR headset.
The headset is expected to run on a Qualcomm XR processor, contrary to previous rumors that it would be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2200 chip. It is also said that a special operating system developed with Google will be used. It was also stated that the new XR headset will be introduced at Samsung’s LSI Technology Day. This event will be held in San Jose on October 5, where the company will discuss future technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G and machine vision. Maybe we can see a prototype product.
