Samsung, South Korea’s tech giant, is set to release Project Moohan, the highly anticipated Virtual Reality (VR) headset, with an official release scheduled for October 21.

This launch comes at a time when the VR market is rapidly expanding, driven by recent advancements in technology and notable entries such as Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest 3.
