what's up guys..
This time we are gonna talk about something that could change the tech world since the tech giant SAMSUNG could be preparing to launch a new wireless headset that uses both AR & VR ( Augmented reality & Virtual reality ) technology.
So what's the difference between VR and AR?
The Gear VR blocks out the entire outside world and instead displays a new, virtual reality. AR, on the other hand, involves being able to see the outside world and displaying virtual elements over the top of it.
AR is considered the next big thing in tech that will probably replace smartphones one day, so if Samsung does launch this AR headset we will be witnessing the beginning of something BIG especially that Samsung isn't actually the only one working on this project, there has been rumors that it's long time rival Apple is working on a VR headset with AR capabilities, so and if the products are launched at the same time, it could mean all-out war in the AR/VR space. That’s a good thing for consumers, however, as it will lead to more innovation and more choice.
Another important thing to note is that the headset is rumored to be wireless, and won’t require connection to a computer or phone. What that means is that it’ll be among the first truly mobile augmented reality devices built for consumers.

Cut to the chase
- What is it? A wireless headset from Samsung capable of both VR and AR
- When is it out? No official word yet, though it could be announced at IFA 2018 in September
- How much does it cost? No official word yet
Samsung is building this headset in partnership with Microsoft, which means the hardware is likely to be Samsung built, while the software will most likely be some form of windows mixed reality.
We’ll have to wait and see if it’s the same software that’s on other
Windows Mixed Reality headsets, or a tweaked version of the software.Another important thing to note is that the headset is rumored to be wireless, and won’t require connection to a computer or phone. What that means is that it’ll be among the first truly mobile augmented reality devices built for consumers.
