Samsung’s next AR headset might just make you smell.
The leading position is still to be taken in the mixed reality headset market. Apple presented the Vision Pro which although compatible with all iOS applications, has not yet proven itself. It is into this gap that Samsung intends to rush into with an AR headset called XR.
We still know little about Samsung’s XR headset, especially since it is rumored that the company recently decided to go back to the drawing board to perfect its product. The secrecy surrounding it logically turns the rumor mill. On Twitter, Revegnus declared: “Samsung’s XR is very intriguing. It seems to have taken a lot of inspiration from Apple’s Vision Pro. The company plans to add the support for touch and even smell […] the screen specs are also impressive, with over 3000ppi “.

If the XR actually offers to make us feel touch and smell, the experience with the headset therefore promises to be total. What forms will these functionalities take? Is it technically feasible without increasing the bill too much? Only Samsung knows, but according to many observers, the price of such a sensory jewel will be at least equivalent to that of an Apple Vision Pro. However, according to rumor, Samsung also counts stand out from your competitor in terms of price.
