Samsung To Unveil Project Moohan XR Headset On October 21
The Korean tech giant’s upcoming Galaxy event will debut its Android-based mixed-reality headset, positioning it against Apple’s Vision Pro.
Samsung will unveil its long-rumored mixed-reality headset, codenamed Project Moohan, at a Galaxy event called “Worlds Wide Open” on October 21. The livestream marks Samsung’s return to immersive hardware and its most ambitious XR launch since the early Gear VR experiments.
Described by the company as “the first product built for the open and scalable Android XR platform,” Moohan is designed to blend virtual and augmented reality through Google’s ecosystem. The device is expected to target professional users and developers who want access to an open platform rather than a closed system like Apple’s.
Samsung says the headset “unlocks a whole new dimension of possibility,” signaling a renewed commitment to spatial computing after several years focused on smartphones and foldables. The company has worked with Qualcomm and Google on XR hardware standards, suggesting Project Moohan could become a reference point for Android-based devices.
Pricing is still unannounced, though leaks suggest a range between $1,800 and $3,000, cheaper than Apple’s Vision Pro but still a premium device. Other reports point to dual 4K displays, advanced tracking, and deeper integration with the Galaxy ecosystem.

Ahead of launch, Samsung is offering $100 credit to customers who reserve any Galaxy device before October 20, redeemable on eligible purchases after the event.
The push comes as global tech firms reposition around spatial computing and AI-driven interfaces. In the Middle East, where Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s metaverse strategy are driving investment in immersive technologies, Samsung’s re-entry could strengthen local developer ecosystems exploring XR for industry and education.
The “Worlds Wide Open” event will stream live on Samsung.com and YouTube at 10 p.m. ET (5 a.m. Gulf Standard Time) on October 21.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine
Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.
Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.
Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.
“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.
The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.
The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
