For thise who, like me, needed context:

"Samsung XR" is a VR headset running "Android XR". Being called "XR" I would expect it would have AR abilities but the website makes no mention of it, or even passthrough, that I could see.

The PC is in a passthrough environment with the screen floating in mid air. I use it on a daily basis.

This is our promo video and its very clear it's in XR with passthrough. https://studio.youtube.com/video/At7KdrGfTTg

We also have a number of XR widgets which are not enabled by default (Holodeck for example). They will be turned on soon in a pro version so if thats what you're looking for I am delighted!

Try the download if you don't believe me.

OP, this is a neat tech demo, but I'm curious what the practical use would be?

FYI- If you look very closely at the video tile on the bottom left you will see XR inside XR. You can't get that capability anywhere else.

Its is a fully networked PC it even runs ROS and AI just like a normal computer. It has OpenGLES acceleration so can run 3D graphics or AI stacks. Its main use is for in-world robotics simulations. We have holodeck and NPC components as extensions which allow a complete sim for Robotics.

Some of this you can see in my X posts (old twitter)- we have emulated many systems under Linux from IBM 360 through to RiscV verilator. Even drones running Ardupilot. It's incredibly powerful.
