South Korean company Samsung is now jumping into the virtual reality after a long time as the new patent was found which describes how the Samsung AR handset will look like.
The latest patent shows the basic construction of an AR headset Samsung might be working on.
Samsung has applied for the patent this February, but it wasn’t published until a couple of days ago.
According to the patent, the Samsung AR headset features a metal and synthetic resin build. There is a cable connected to the right side of the device, and the lenses are made of glass. The headset also looks like it will sport two forward-facing cameras and two projectors — one for each eye.
We can’t say whether the company is actively working on the headset or not. The patent also doesn’t tell us anything about the technology powering the device or where that cable leads. It could be another unknown device, a computer, or even a smartphone. We will have to wait for Samsung to release official information before we know for sure.
Samsung hasn’t released a new VR headset since 2017 and this new AR headset will boost and open the scope for future ARs.
