Reports indicate that Samsung's AR glasses have been under development since February 2023, in collaboration with companies such as Google and Qualcomm. The design is closer to ordinary glasses or sunglasses, and the weight is expected to be only 50 grams, taking a differentiated approach from Apple's Vision Pro headset.
The report states that Samsung will first announce the XR platform system built for the AR glasses this December, before showcasing the prototype in January. (Image source: IT Home)
