According to recent reports, Samsung is working on a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses that are set to be launched on the market this year. The project bears the internal name “Haean” and aims to develop a device that integrates seamlessly into users’ everyday lives and offers practical support.
Key points
- Compact design: The AR glasses should not be designed as a bulky device, but rather as an accessory suitable for everyday use.
- Practical applications: Planned functions could include navigation instructions directly in the user’s field of vision, for example.
- Technical details: There is currently no concrete information on the technology used or the operating system of the glasses.
Integration into everyday life
As a report from ETNEWS suggests, Samsung is currently working on AR glasses that could possibly go on sale in 2025. In contrast to conventional virtual reality headsets, which immerse the user completely in a virtual environment, Samsung’s planned AR glasses extend the real world with digital information. This could mean, for example, that navigation instructions are displayed directly in the field of vision during a bike ride without having to take your eyes off the road.
Cooperation with partners
Although specific technical details are not yet known, it is likely that Samsung is working with established partners to develop the AR glasses. In the past, the company has already announced collaborations with Qualcomm for processors and Google for operating systems in the field of augmented reality. These partnerships could also play a role in the current development.
Market environment and competition
The market for AR glasses is constantly evolving. With the planned launch, Samsung could enter into direct competition with other technology giants that are also working on similar products. We recently had the opportunity to take a look at the ASUS AirVision M1 (Review | € 803.90 *), one such pair of glasses in practical use. The successful integration of AR technology into users’ everyday lives and the interaction with successful Samsung smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S25 (€ 939.99 *) could be a decisive factor for market success.
Conclusion
The planned AR glasses from Samsung could represent a significant step in the integration of augmented reality into everyday life. Their compact design and practical applications such as navigation aids could make them attractive to many users. Specific information on price and availability is still pending, but it will be interesting to see how Samsung’s entry into the AR glasses market develops.
