Samsung just introduced a 3D capture feature for unannounced Galaxy XR headset

Samsung said it plans to launch its first extended reality (XR) headset before the end of this year, and it seems like the company is now preparing for its release. As the launch draws near, the company has unintentionally revealed a feature that will come to Galaxy XR headsets and will help it compete with Apple's Vision Pro.

The latest version (4.0.0.3) of the Camera Assistant app has revealed that Galaxy XR headsets can capture 3D images and videos, just like Apple's Vision Pro headset. The feature can be turned on via the Camera Assistant app. Strangely, this new version of the Camera Assistant app is only available on the Galaxy S25 FE but the feature doesn't actually show up. We had to transfer the APK file to our Galaxy S25 Ultra to see this new option.

Galaxy XR headsets will be able to capture 3D (spatial) photos and videos using its onboard cameras, and the Camera Assistant app will add that option in the headset's stock Camera app, as seen in the image below. Clearly, Samsung is in the midst of finishing up the development of this feature before the launch of its first Galaxy XR headset, which is why the new option isn't showing up on phones yet.

You can download this new version of the Camera Assistant app from our Google Drive link and you can watch the Project Moohan headset in our video below.

Samsung's XR headset, which is codenamed Project Moohan, will be the world's first device to run Android XR. It has a bunch of onboard cameras, two Micro OLED displays with high resolution and a high refresh rate, and is powered by an external battery pack.

It can run all Android apps and games, but some optimized apps will display an immersive UI designed for XR headsets. Thanks to the sneak peek Samsung gave a few months ago, it was revealed that the XR headset can be controlled with hand and pinch gestures. The company also revealed that the device will also work with dedicated motion controllers but they won't come bundled in the box.
