Building for Samsung Galaxy XR, featuring Calm's blueprint to Android XR development

Hey everyone, Stevan here live from the Galaxy event where Samsung just announced the Galaxy XR, available on shelves today.

The Galaxy XR is a powerful device that allows users to play and work in completely new ways by seamlessly blending the digital and physical world.

This launch is an exciting moment because the Samsung Galaxy XR is the first device to be available on the Android XR platform.

So what does that mean to you as a developer?

With Android XR you can take advantage of the same familiar tools like Android Studio and Jetpack Compose, use your same code base and extend it with additional APIs and capabilities.

And as you're developing for headsets and Android XR, you're also setting yourself up for the future for glasses.

So how do you get started? First is developing adaptive for Android.

When you do this, you build a UI that will naturally work on this new headset.

In home space, users will be able to resize it and interact with your components in a seamless way.

Step two is really differentiating your app so it shines on XR.
