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.

New Design Patent Reveals What Samsung AR Glasses May Look Like

A new patent filed by Samsung may have just revealed the design for the company's upcoming AR Glasses. The patent application, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) and first spotted by 91mobiles, shows a realistic-looking pair of glasses which Samsung describes as a "head-mounted device."

The thick frame will likely pack the main processor, RAM, and Wi-Fi transceivers, as well as cellular connectivity chips if Samsung chooses to offer. There's also a big strip above the lenses. Dual front-facing cameras are expected to sit there along with other sensors.
The patent doesn't detail any technical specs of the upcoming Samsung AR Glasses, though.

That said, Samsung develops various technologies every year but not all of them end up in real-life products. As for a pair of AR Glasses, there's certainly a possibility but probably not with all the above-discussed features just yet. Perhaps, this is one for the future.
