Samsung showed a new AR glasses prototype. This happened at the SID Display Week event. The prototype is extremely light. It weighs only 15 grams without nose pads. This weight is much less than many current AR headsets. The goal is comfort for long wear.

The glasses use tiny micro-OLED displays. These displays are very small. They are also very bright. The displays project images onto special lenses. These lenses are called waveguides. The waveguides guide light into the user’s eyes. This creates the augmented reality effect. Users see digital images over the real world.

Samsung made the frame very thin. It uses lightweight plastic. The electronics are also very small. This helps achieve the low weight. The design looks like normal glasses mostly. It is not bulky. People might wear it daily.

The prototype is just a technology demonstration. Samsung is not selling it yet. The company built it to test ideas. They wanted to see if very light AR glasses are possible. The test focused on the display and optics system. Samsung needs more work on other features. Battery life and computing power need solutions. Real products need these things.
