- Qualcomm’s CEO Cristiano Amon has revealed that Samsung’s upcoming XR product is mixed reality smart glasses.
- The smart glasses will link to the user’s smartphone.
- Amon says that AI will partially run on the device while the rest runs on the phone.
Last year, Samsung teased an XR project that it had partnered with Qualcomm and Google for. The tech giant never elaborated on what kind of wearable this XR device would be, but now Qualcomm has let the cat out of the bag.
While speaking to CNBC, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon revealed that Samsung’s formerly nebulous upcoming XR product is a pair of mixed reality smart glasses. Some rumors suggested that the product would be a headset; there had even leaked images of a headset prototype. The CEO added that these smart glasses would link to your phone and it’ll be “a new product.”
