Leak reveals Samsung's Windows Mixed Reality headset

Samsung is one of the biggest names in the virtual reality market, thanks to the affordable Gear VR headset. Now the South Korean tech giant is gearing up to set foot into the mixed reality space.

Twitter user WalkingCat has shared pictures of Samsung's upcoming mixed reality headset, giving us a clear look at the design. The headset's design is same as models from Lenovo, Asus, Dell, HTC, and HP, so is the motion controller. Interstingly, Samsung's headset will be fitted with AKG branded headphones, which is missing on other headsets.

Unlike Gear VR headset which uses Samsung phone to offer VR experience, the Mixed Reality headset needs to be connected to a Windows 10 PC. In fact it will be based on Microsoft's specifications, which means it is likely to have two 1440 x 1440 pixel displays, 110 desgree field of view, inside out motion and position tracking.

Samsung's Mixed Reality headset is expected to be announced on October 3, the day when Microsoft is holding its Mixed Reality event in San Francisco.
