Samsung is apparently considering making foldable AR glasses. This emerges from a recent patent application.
Das Dokument, welches von Samsung den US-Behörden zur Patentierung zugesendet wurde, zeigt ein Gerät, das sich falten lässt und regulären AR-Brillen ähnlich sieht, wobei die Fassung weitaus dicker ist, da elektronische Komponenten darin verbaut werden. Das finale Design könnte sich, wie „Engadget“ berichtet, noch ändern, aber aktuell wäre angedacht, dass das Gerät sich automatisch einschaltet, wenn es geöffnet wird.
As long as it is open, a small projector will beam images onto a screen that is in the wearer's field of vision. To prevent the device from switching off unintentionally, magnetic sensors may also be used to keep the glasses activated until a user deliberately closes them. Samsung does not give any more precise information about which components may be used. ARM processors are mentioned, but no further details are given.
Gear VR is still supported
Samsung has made an attempt to enter the VR field with the Gear VR. The device was released in 2015 and is still supported by new devices, such as the Galaxy S10. However, an updated version has not yet been announced.
