Samsung may have designed a headset even goofier than Google Glass

[Youbetternot]

Samsung is now going to compete with google now, Samsung just want to compete with everyone.

 

The big knock on Google’s Glass headset is that while it’s a terrifically innovative piece of technology, it’s also too dorky to catch on among everyday consumers. But it turns out there may be something even dorkier in the pipeline, as The Wall Street Journal has found a patent filing showing Samsung’s answer to Google’s headset. Unlike Google Glass, which is a headband with one small eyepiece that projects images onto your eye, Samsung’s headset looks like a full pair of glasses that even has a USB dongle that sticks out from behind. The Journal says that the device is “linked to a smartphone and displays alerts for information running on the phone, providing easy access to control when the users’ hands are tied with sports activities.

 

A wild Samsung Google Glass competitor may release soon, if these Korean patent filings are any hints of an upcoming device. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Galaxy S4 maker has filed patents for a wearable headset device similar to the one belonging to Google. Even though Google has yet to release Glass (despite them bragging about it for over a year), Samsung may be trying to get a leg up on the competition early. Not surprising for a company that released the Galaxy Gear amongst tons of Apple iWatch rumors. Who knows? maybe they were planning one all along. Let's just hope the Samsung Google Glass competitor they release supports their main phone.
