Smartwatches have come a long way since they were first introduced, and Samsung has been leading the charge in this area of innovation. Samsung recently filed a patent application that hints at the possibility of a future Galaxy Watch featuring an in-built projector. This means that we could potentially see these advanced smartwatches hitting the market in the near future, giving us the opportunity to experience them for ourselves.
The patent application reveals that the projector will be integrated into the watch band, providing a user-friendly and practical design for individuals who are always on the go. The patent also suggests that the watch will have various sensors to detect surfaces and adjust the projection's focus and orientation automatically. The patent diagram depicts a series of lenses and LEDs arranged in two rows to ensure that the projected image is not distorted while projected onto the wrist. However, for the image to be presented correctly, the wrist must be entirely straight. This invention may be one of the many patents submitted by businesses to expand their patent portfolio.
The filing indicates that Samsung aims to provide a more immersive content experience that is not constrained by the wristwatch's screen limitations. It suggests that the information displayed on the projection display may differ from that on the display module, allowing for more diverse viewing options. For example, viewing movies sent through chat apps or making video calls could become more convenient with the addition of a camera module.
As this technology advances, we may see further improvements and changes to the smartwatch.
