Whoa! Big news ... congrats. Hugo Swart ... I don't suppose you can share any updates on what's happening with the relationship between Google's XR OS and Samsung's XR headset ... like, when is it coming out?? 🤞

After 20 years at Qualcomm, I am embarking on a new journey. It was an amazing 2 decades starting with driving EV-DO technology adoption in Latin America to running Qualcomm’s XR business. So many great memories, friendships, partnerships and accomplishments that I am grateful for. Looking forward to the next phase, but first I am taking some time off and will update you then.

Qualcomm’s Brian Vogelsang joined Lenovo and #XR developer Sphere to discuss how their cross-collaborative effort is helping unleash the power of #XR enterprise solutions. I definitely recommend checking out the full interview to get an inside look at how the trio is revolutionizing the future of XR in the workplace. https://lnkd.in/dyvqF6Nx

It’s no secret that I’m passionate about #XR, but wearable technology is another interest of mine. Samsung Electronics gave us a first glimpse of its upcoming Galaxy Ring, and it looks like it could be a gamechanger. I’m very interested to see how new use cases will develop with this new technology. https://lnkd.in/g8bKyVYj

Samsung’s smart ring might signal the start of a new wearable era
