Play Store code indicates Google is prepping for Android XR headsets

It appears like we’ve been getting a drip feed of reports on Google and Samsung’s plans for “XR” headsets operating Android for a very long time. However based on a brand new teardown of the Play Retailer app, Google’s engaged on placing in precise software program help proper now. It doesn’t imply headsets are coming tomorrow…nevertheless it does imply somebody excessive up at Google thinks they’re coming.

Android Authority dug deep into the code of the most recent APK file for the Play Retailer interface on Android, and located some compelling proof. Android apps can now detect whether or not they’re suitable with an “XR headset” gadget, in the identical approach they examine for compatibility for telephones, tablets, watches, and Chromebooks. There’s even an icon for the gadget class, a really clear drawing of a headset within the Oculus type.

Android is already the bottom open-source working system for Meta’s Quest VR headsets, so all of the video games and apps that run on it are technically Android apps. However that software program is so closely modified and locked down, it’s principally fully faraway from Android as most individuals perceive it.

XR headsets, which Arm defines as encompassing digital actuality, augmented actuality, and combined actuality (take it straightforward on the marketing-speak buddy), can be extra nimble and wearable gadgets. Assume a mixture of Apple’s Imaginative and prescient Professional and one thing much more low-key, just like the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. Samsung, Google, and Qualcomm have been engaged on one thing on this house for some time, nevertheless it retains getting pushed again based on what data snippets leak out.

Whilst a basic fan of VR tech, I’ve to confess that nobody’s cracked a extremely compelling case for a extra ubiquitous headset or glasses gadget. And we’re speaking a few kind issue that Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Apple have all taken a stab at in a single kind or one other. Why do they preserve coming again?

One, as a result of we’re approaching 20 years for the reason that launch of the trendy smartphone, and each tech firm desires to be the one which launches the subsequent ubiquitous gadget. Smartphones and tablets are basically saturated throughout each market at this level. The one solution to promote extra is to develop into creating markets, which have a tendency to draw solely funds consumers for low-margin gadgets, or attempt to create demand for ultra-premium, high-margin gadgets just like the Galaxy Fold or iPhone Professional. Firms search limitless earnings, so looking for new kind elements is inevitable.

However I feel a much bigger a part of that is that tech corporations are run by folks, and other people appear to suppose {that a} vision-based interface for electronics is an inevitability. It’s turn out to be such a staple of science fiction, so ubiquitous in video video games that we barely discover it, that we’re all form of simply anticipating a set of sensible glasses or a full-power headset in some unspecified time in the future.

It appears like we’re again in 2013, all holding our breath for the unique Galaxy Gear watch. As a result of we simply know Dick Tracy-style smartwatches are going to be a factor, even when we’re undecided how we’ll really make use of them.

So deliver it on, Google. Give the headset one other shot. When you don’t do it, another person will. And so they’ll most likely fail…however ultimately somebody received’t.
