Samsung is working on Galaxy Ring, AR glasses

Samsung is working on “Galaxy Ring” for health tracking and augmented reality (AR)-powered “Galaxy Glasses,” the media reported.

The tech giant has filed two new trademark applications, one for a Galaxy Ring and the other for a pair of Galaxy Glasses, Gizmochina reports.

The upcoming glasses could be similar to the rumored Apple AR/Virtual Reality (VR) headset.

The company was also granted the Galaxy Ring trademark by the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) last week.

The Galaxy Ring classifications describe the product as a “smart device for measuring health indicators and/or sleep in the form of [a] Ring”.

However, the KIPRIS application did not reveal any other details about the upcoming device other than its name.

The Galaxy Ring will likely monitor the wearer’s health and physical activities in a similar way to a smartwatch, the report said.

On February 1st, the tech giant announced at the Unpacked event that it had teamed up with Qualcomm and Google to build an ecosystem for XR.

“New product launches will take time, but we will make progress and provide you with new updates,” TM Roh, president of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience business, said at the event, adding that the creation of a new ecosystem cannot be done over time by Samsung alone, as it requires collaboration with strong partners.
