Samsung says this creates a &#8220;scalable&#8221; foundation that can bring the Galaxy XR to real-world industries, such as &#8220;training, manufacturing, healthcare and retail.&#8221; This update brings security for sensitive data.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">Article continues below <default:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"inline-block w-2.5 h-2.5 ml-2\" fill=\"currentColor\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewbox=\"0 0 1000 1000\"><default:path d=\"M1000 100L500 900 0 100h1000z\"\/><\/default:svg><\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-('') after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-(0.7rem) after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            before:content-('') before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-(0.7rem) before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            you may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It is said that enterprise apps rely on managed Google Play, making it easier for users to roll out and update apps.

Whatever your previously selected vertical position or depth was, the Galaxy XR will remember it. A &#8220;Desktop Session Restore&#8221; feature is rolling out, meaning users can instantly reopen the last three apps they were using.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"eye-tracking-update-spatialization-3\">Eye Tracking Update and Localization<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-541c24eb-f2c3-4f65-9b98-4e9a4021a5f7\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3428px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/jTrcRFm6VyGGGLXNAVJxRY-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Samsung)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-dd636416-9a3a-418d-9a8f-4d7c729ace4e\">In terms of accessibility, the Galaxy XR expands single eye tracking and pointer optimization to better assist users with different &#8220;vision or mobility&#8221; needs. Auto spatialization comes to Google Chrome and YouTube, capable of converting 2D content to 3D (this includes photos as well as videos). Finally, Wall Panel Alignment, a Labs feature for the Galaxy XR, is a feature that helps integrate content viewed through the headset into your physical surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung says this Galaxy XR update is rolling out today (April 7).<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-V4JvYZUeSu2TrhTeXihxm7\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-V4JvYZUeSu2TrhTeXihxm7 slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So far, there have been a few ways to use the Galaxy XR that we have come across.

Google&#8217;s AI opens apps faster on devices, helps users find places to eat within an immersive Maps experience, and much more. Samsung is all about the &#8220;Multimodal AI&#8221; aspect of the Galaxy XR, which makes sense once you get used to it. Heck, you can even create AI videos thanks to Veo 3 on the headset. But, after today&#8217;s patch, it looks like Samsung is working on what else the headset could do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you need to know Samsung detailed a major update for the Galaxy XR that adds Android Enterprise support, laying the foundation for real-world possibilities.
