When I had the opportunity to use Android XR in December, my favorite aspect was to ensure that the Gemini experience powered by Project Astra and Gemini 2.0. There is now a prolonged look on this subject mkbhd.
When Google announced Android XR last month, we could not photograph the prototype of the Moohan project in Samsung. As we get closer to the launch of 2025, Google left the MKBHD video the practical video and shared the images of the interior of the helmet. It starts at 6:13 am.
When you activate the Gemini from quick parameters, it will listen to the commands and are aware of what you see on the virtual screen, as well as the real world of front cameras.
If you watch a video and see something interesting, you can just ask Gemini. This includes translations, to which a place in Google Maps houses and explain what is happening in a YouTube video. Gemini can also answer questions about the real world. For example, if there is someone in front of you wearing a football / football jersey, you can ask Gemini how this team is doing and get a Google Search knowledge panel with the League classification.

What was most impressive for me at the time is how Gemini / Astra remains silent in the background until you explicitly ask a question. As such, you can speak transparently with other people while wearing the helmet.
The natural to ask a question about what you consult without any preface or specify more is like having another person next to you. Frankly, this justifies all the work and the efforts that Google has put in Gemini lately. The voice is the way you are supposed to interact with the LLM.

Astra is currently an autonomous application for trusted testers and is expected to arrive in the Gemini application on Pixel and Galaxy S25 in the coming months.
During the launch event of the S25 last week, we had a closer examination of the equipment. It looks like Pro Vision, but it is lighter given the use of plastics instead of metal.
In addition, I would say that the design of “front rest” is a significant improvement in relation to Vision Pro because it distributes the weight better, probably reducing the need for a superior strap. In today’s video, we also see how the cable is attached to the battery via USB-C, allowing you to use other units if you want prolonged use.
