Samsung is potentially engaged with a new argument reality project to enhance the technology further. A new patent filed to US Patent and Trademark Office discloses that the company is working a new pair of foldable AR glasses as per shown in provided images. The application was originally filed on January 2, 2019, which, officially published to the website on July 11, 2019.
It can be seen that these glasses do not require additional equipment for performance assistance. The design is like ordinary sunglasses, totally opposite to other AR headsets those fully wraps the head. The middle area of the screen mirror is equipped with a translucent lens, that suggests likely using a waveguide to diffract the projection in a way to convey 3D depth. When the glasses are folded, the power can be automatically turned off and on by the frames. Overall, the design of these glasses is very interesting and should be more comfortable to hold than the typical AR headsets.
Two years ago, Samsung had applied for a patent on holographic AR glasses. Compared with the previous patent map, the Samsung AR glasses patent chart released this time can precisely see a complete outline of the glasses. Being just a patent application, there isn’t any clarity that when will the actual product come into the light. Basically, the main motive behind filing a patent application is to prevent others from using the same idea in a similar but not identical device; therefore we can’t acknowledge its arrival to the end user.
