According to Galaxy Club, which was the first to spot the patent, the headset features projection screens in each lens. Additionally, one diagram depicts a wire on the right side of the device -- though the purpose of the cable isn't clear.

While the fact Samsung included a 3D render is unusual, it doesn't mean the company is any more likely to release the pictured device than with any other patent application we've seen in the past. Still, the timing is interesting. After years of trying to position mobile VR as the next big thing, most smartphone companies, including Samsung and Google, have given up on the medium.

Notably, Samsung isn't the only company that looks like its working on an AR headset.
However, we'll have to wait and see if AR devices fare any better than their VR counterparts.
