"Qualcomm's Latest XR2+ Chip to Revolutionize VR/AR Headsets for Samsung, Google, and Beyond"
Qualcomm has unveiled a new mixed reality reference headset featuring the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chip, which is expected to be the basis for Samsung's upcoming XR device. The reference headset includes high-resolution eye-tracking, support for high per-eye resolution, multiple cameras for various tracking capabilities, and Wi-Fi 6/6E/7. While the form factor and camera setup of Samsung's headset may be similar to Qualcomm's reference design, the display and lenses are anticipated to be customized. Samsung's headset is likely to compete with Meta's Quest and could incorporate features similar to Apple's Vision Pro.
