With the filing of new U.S. trademarks for the Galaxy Glasses virtual and augmented reality headsets and the Galaxy Ring smart ring, Samsung appears to be preparing to expand its range of smart devices.. This comes a month after Samsung announced its intention to build its own augmented reality hardware.

Samsung’s partnership with Qualcomm and Google, which was revealed last month, is showing signs of life this week. The name Galaxy Glasses suggests smart glasses similar to Focals by North or Ray-Ban Stories, while the app covers headsets for use in augmented and virtual reality..

The GALAXY GLASSES™ brand covers various categories such as virtual reality headsets, augmented reality headsets, headphones, smartphones and smart glasses. This indicates that the company is gearing up to further expand its wearable portfolio and embrace cutting-edge technology.

Trademark registrations are often broader than necessary to provide more flexibility in the future. In this case, it’s premature to say whether Samsung’s vision of “augmented reality” will materialize in separate smart glasses or in a full-fledged virtual headset.

The smart ring will focus on health monitoring

In addition, Samsung has registered the trademark Samsung Galaxy Ring in the United States. According to the description, the Galaxy Ring is designed to collect data on health, fitness and sleep, which may replace the need for a traditional fitness tracker worn on the wrist.

Under the brand name “SAMSUNG GALAXY RING™”, the company covers various categories of wearable devices such as smart rings for tracking, measuring, monitoring and uploading information related to health, fitness and sleep.

At this point, it’s unclear if the two Samsung wearables are related. Based on the trademark description, Galaxy Ring is intended only to collect health and fitness data and send it to the user’s smartphone.
