Samsung’s Project Moohan Android XR headset will launch with some well-known partners: The headset, which Samsung plans to unveil with an online event tomorrow night, will have access to spatial apps from Adobe, the MLB and the NFL from day one, as premature app listings on the Google Play Store show.
Project Moohan owners will also be able to use a bunch of apps currently available on Meta’s Quest VR headsets, including VR fitness app FitXR, the VR rhythm game Synth Riders and the popular VR puzzler Cubism.
Some of those titles were included in a collections page titled “Immersive experiences made for your XR headset,” which Android Authority first reported about late last week. Others were listed directly on the Play Store, where dedicated Android XR apps are being shown with a special “Made for XR” badge.
Here’s a running list of launch titles I was able to unearth:
An MLB app promises “highlights and clips in Spatial Video” and “Immersive Gameday 3D live and on-demand.”
The NBA is bringing its app to Android XR as well.
Adobe’s Project Pulsar XR Video Editor is being described as “a Spatial FX and 3D compositing app for social video content creators.”
