Samsung will let Galaxy phones take spatial photos for Android XR


With Samsung’s Android XR headset “Project Moohan” around the corner, a new software option has popped up on Galaxy phones that will allow users to capture spatial photos and videos to be viewed on the new headset.

As spotted by SamMobile, a new “3D Capture” option has appeared in Samsung’s Camera Assistant app (a Good Lock module) which allows users to capture photos and videos on their Galaxy phones with additional depth for viewing in an Android XR environment. Samsung says:

Add a 3D capture option to the top of the preview so you can create spatial photos and videos for Galaxy XR headsets.

The new option appeared in Camera Assistant v4.0.0.3, but not on all devices. The updated app is only available right now on the Galaxy S25 FE, but the “3D Capture” setting only appears when the app is running on a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

When enabled, a new button appears in the camera viewfinder which shows an outline of “Project Moohan.”

Samsung implementing this functionality comes as no surprise, as Apple made this a key integration between iPhones and the Vision Pro headset. It is strange, though, that this functionality is buried in Camera Assistant rather than being a stock part of the camera app, but it wouldn’t be the first time that Samsung ignored essential functionality in its software, only to fix it through Good Lock.

“Project Moohan” is rumored to be around the corner, but there’s still a lot we don’t know about this inaugural Android XR headset.
