The trajectory of the development of virtual reality has been a mixed bag of successes and drawbacks, but Samsung seems to be making significant progress in this regard. Samsung’s Gear VR headsets were its first products when it forayed into the VR space. The company seems to be investing in further developments of VR functionality with a Galaxy VR headset in the offing. The trademark filing was revealed by LetsGoDigital.
The latest trademark filing was on March 30, 2022, at the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). Another Samsung filing has been traced to 2018 in Austria bearing the same name. There have been indications that Samsung was working on a Galaxy VR headset for some time now. Indeed, back in February during the Mobile World Congress, Samsung’s CEO Han Jong-hee gave the hint of a VR device. The latest trademark filing could be a pointer to the imminent launch of the Galaxy VR headset.
There has not been any official confirmation yet from Samsung on the VR headset in development. The coming weeks will provide better illumination on the current trajectory of Samsung’s VR project.
