Samsung has its sights set on a new wearable technology, according to a recent patent filing.
Patent authorities on Thursday published an invention from Samsung that shows eyewear that connects to a smartphone, according to the Wall Street Journal. The eyewear includes earphones that allow users to listen to phone calls or music. According to the Journal, the eyewear shows information running on the phone in the lenses. The lenses can be transparent or not, depending on the usage needs.
Samsung's proposed eyewear is somewhat similar to Google Glass, though it appears to be an accessory for a smartphone, rather than a standalone device, like Google Glass. According to the Journal, the Samsung eyewear also tries to appeal to "sporty" users.
It's not clear whether Samsung has any plans to launch the eyewear. Like most companies, Samsung files for patents on a wide array of technologies. Many of those products never launch.
