Not in this presentation, but they've talked about it in the past. Overall story is that we're trying to catch up with Meta on a lot of API surface, not quite there yet. And profiles update is in progress here: github.com/immersive-we...

Well that was... Dry. High level points are the headset is out now, costs ~half of what a Vision Pro and weighs a fair amount less. www.uploadvr.com/samsung-gala...

The controllers cost almost as much as a whole Quest 3s :-\

I really don't know what they're thinking with the controllers. Barely mentioned them, no demos for press, sold separately, crazy expensive, and apparently very little stock? Why even have controllers at that point?

I got a message that the controllers will ship on January 8 😕

I hated all of the use cases the intro video provided and I especially hated the "built around ai" ethos

For a moment I really thought they were going to try and make whale videos selling point à la Magic Leap

Does Chrome on Android XR, e.g. this Samsung Galaxy XR new HMD, supports eye tracking? Behind a flag?

Depends on what you mean by "supports eye tracking?" You can use Chrome via gaze and pinch like any other 2D app. There's no WebXR feature for directly exposing eye tracking data, though.
