Android XR’s major update brought an AI feature to make any windowed content 3D, hand occlusion in the home space, and the ability to pin windows to your walls to Samsung Galaxy XR.<\/p>\n

The first major update for Google’s XR operating system started rolling out to Samsung’s standalone headset in April, bringing three massive features and other notable changes.<\/p>\n

And given that Xreal’s Project Aura headset will run the same Android XR operating system via a compute puck with the same Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset, these features should also be available on Aura when it launches later this year.<\/p>\n

Here’s a rundown of what exactly arrived in the update, with details on what each feature actually does.<\/p>\n

Auto-Spatialization For 2D Windows<\/h2>\n

Google actually pre-announced the biggest feature of Android XR’s major update back in December: Auto-spatialization.<\/p>\n

Android XR Getting AI System Feature To Turn Any 2D Window 3D<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Android XR is getting an AI feature that can turn any 2D content, including games streamed from your PC, into 3D.<\/p>\n

When enabled in the “Labs” section of the Android XR system settings, Auto-spatialization makes the operating system constantly run a machine learning model on whatever 2D window is currently in focus that synthesizes stereoscopic 3D depth at 1080p 30FPS.<\/p>\n

That means that images, videos, games, websites and whatever other visual content you’re looking at automatically becomes 3D, with a sense of depth, without any implementation from the developer or creator of said content.<\/p>\n

Auto-Spatialization on Android XR<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a remarkable feature that no other standalone VR\/MR headset has, though Xreal and Viture have a similar feature for their virtual monitor glasses, with Xreal’s handled by its X1 chip and Viture’s through the smartphone companion app.<\/p>\n

Google notes that enabling Auto-spatialization will use extra energy, making the headset last less long between charges, and that the operating system will sometimes…<\/p>\n
