Samsung's sci‑fi amulet: The next tech revolution?

Samsung continuously works on new solutions that aim to make everyday life easier. Following the success of the Galaxy Ring, a smart ring that monitors health, the company is taking its ambitions to an even higher level. A patent filed by the Korean giant suggests that the next step might be Samsung gadgets in the form of futuristic amulets. The new technology could allow users to interact with devices without physically using them—images may be displayed directly on the hand or other surfaces.

Samsung has been at the forefront of companies introducing innovative technologies for years. After the success of smartphones and smartwatches, it's time for a new category of devices—Samsung gadgets based on advanced technology. This year, the company introduced the Galaxy Ring—a smart ring that gained popularity due to its modern design and the lack of a subscription requirement. Unlike competing devices like the Oura Ring 4, the Galaxy Ring allows users full access to the collected data via the Samsung Health app.

However, the company doesn't stop at the ring. The latest reports indicate that technology development will take us even further into the future. Samsung has filed a patent for a device resembling an amulet equipped with a projector to display images on the user's hand. This innovative gadget has the potential to revolutionize how we use our smartphones or tablets, making interaction with devices even more intuitive.

The concept of a Samsung amulet may seem straight out of science fiction movies, but the development of technology shows that such Samsung gadgets could become a reality. The filed patent describes a device that uses "beam image output" technology to display images on various surfaces. Imagine accessing your screen without taking your phone out of your pocket, as it is displayed directly on your hand.

But that's not all. The technology described in the patent suggests that the device can adjust displayed images to the user's movements. When you rest your hand on a table, the amulet will display a keyboard, and when you raise your hand to your face, you'll see your phone's screen. The device is also expected to include a gimbal, allowing for the adjustment of angle, brightness, and size of the displayed image, significantly enhancing the convenience of using such a gadget.

Although it is currently just a patent, not a finished product, it gives us insight into what Samsung gadgets might look like in the future. Such technologies could completely change our approach to mobile devices, making them even more versatile and easier to use.
