According to a new patent application, Huawei might be working on its own pair of AR/VR glasses. These come with a pretty innovative removable strap that turns into a ring, which you can use to control the user interface of the glasses while it’s on your finger. We’re talking gesture recognition, pointing, and navigation.
Huawei AR/VR headset patent with removable and re-attachable ring
When it’s tucked into the headset, you can use it for simple things like taps and swipes. It automatically recharges when it’s ‘docked’ into the headset. This obviously eliminates the need for a separate controller, and it’s a pretty neat solution in theory – of course it remains to be seen how well it would work in practice.
Speaking of which, this is just a patent application by Huawei. That means the company has spent some time developing it, but it’s not a guarantee that it will eventually become a real product, keep that in mind.
