The patent looks like it could beam your smartphone’s display onto your palm, or a keyboard onto a desk and track your hand movements.
Samsungannounced its first step into thesmart ringfield earlier this year with the launch of theGalaxy Ring. It offered a sleek design and a change up from other smart rings in that it doesn’t require a monthly subscription – unlike theOura Ring 4– offering access to all the data it collects though the Samsung Health app.
Potentially worn around the neck like an amulet or sat on a desk in front of you, it uses “beam image output” technology to project images from another device, such as asmartphoneortabletIt’s suggested that this could be onto your hand, to give you access to your homescreen, say, without needing to take your phone out of your pocket.

This suggests that if the device detects your hands on a table, a keyboard would be projected, while if your hand is up and facing your face, your phone’s display would appear. There’s said to be a gimbal within the device that allows for angle and position adjustment, as well as detail, brightness and the image size too.
Sounds pretty cool right? The only problem is that this is just a patent and as with all patents, there is no guarantee this will ever be a device that will see the light of day.

What is interesting about patents though, is they allow you to imagine what technology we might see in the future and that’s always good fun, even if the devices themselves don’t eventually launch.
