Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft are all working on augmented reality wearables. Samsung’s work on AR possibly leaked today, but there are many unknowns about “Glasses Lite.”
WalkingCat, a Twitter account with a known history of leaking Microsoft and Samsung products, over the weekend posted two videos. Given the source’s track record — mostly recently revealing the Galaxy Tab S7 Lite and Galaxy Chromebook 2, this is most likely a genuine Samsung video. However, the important caveat is that this could just be an internal concept rather than an actual upcoming product. WalkingCat is not sure themselves and tweeted with a “R&D Vision Concept ?” caption.
The first video starts with a title card that says “Samsung Glasses Lite.” This is very much the style for the South Korean company’s product videos. We then get a very good view of glasses that are much thicker than regular eye frames, but immediately familiar. The last shot in this sequence is of lenses that clearly have a transparent screen embedded into them.
We then see the actual product being worn and used, with a simulation of what the person is viewing when wearing Glasses Lite. The first use case is playing a car game on what looks to be a Samsung phone docked to a controller accessory.
It then shows an example of “Integrated Control” where a Galaxy Watch is used to switch from gameplay to watching a “Video.” It seamlessly starts on the Glasses Lite, with Samsung calling this “Portable Media.” The person then switches to “Dex Display” and replies to an email with a physical keyboard, while a floating desktop appears in front of them. A “Video Call” scenario is also shown.
This person then walks outside and activates “Sunglasses Mode” to hide the AR displays and tint the shades. While outside, this model proceeds to control a drone as part of a “New Dimension Display” feature with full flight HUD.
The second video is of Samsung’s “Next Wearable Computing” vision. The conceptual nature of this is very clear and includes:
- AR Office: Complete with a projected keyboard that only the user sees and can use to type on. They can zoom in, with an unlimited field-of-view, unlike the first video.
- Holo Call: With full body virtual guests
This video ends on “Samsung AR Glasses.”
