Samsung patents more AI-powered imaging & smart glasses tech

This year, Samsung has had lower-than-expected financial results in multiple divisions. The strategy to turn things around is to bet more on innovation and get ahead of the trends in the tech industry. In recent months, Samsung has patented technologies related to AI-powered imaging, eye-tracking for smart glasses, and even self-adjusting mechanisms for smart rings.

Samsung’s bet on more innovation will lead to AR smart glasses, more powerful Galaxy AI, and other developments in 2025. The company’s patents indicate that they have been working on an AI feature for removing subjects from images. Additionally, they also hint at a technology for AR glasses that ensures the user interface always aligns with your gaze. Plus, next-gen Galaxy Rings could have a self-adjusting structure, as reported a few weeks ago.

Samsung’s AI-powered imaging tech for improved Object Eraser tool

The company already has an Object Eraser tool in its image editor for Galaxy phones. However, a patent published by the Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS) this week suggests that the company is working on enhancing it. Samsung’s filing describes an AI-powered imaging system to easily remove subjects or objects from photos with just a tap. The feature can also extend the background or fill in spaces on the picture.

Eye tracking tech for smart glasses

As for the AR glasses, the patents say that a series of sensors will constantly track the direction of the user’s gaze. This enables the UI of apps and menus to maintain optimal positioning at all times. According to reports, Samsung’s upcoming smart glasses will not have a screen. So, it’s possible that the technology will be present in future iterations. The document also mentions a virtual compass function for smart glasses.

Samsung’s smart glasses are being co-developed with Google and Qualcomm under the codename “Project Moohan.” They are expected to integrate Google’s Gemini assistant for AI-powered features. This would allow you to quickly create reminders, translate languages ​​in real time, ask things, and more.

Possible auto-adjustable Galaxy Ring

We already talked about the possible self-sizing Galaxy Rings a few weeks ago. Samsung’s patent described an elastic mechanism that allows the ring to automatically adapt to any finger size. However, we’ll have to wait longer to see such technology implemented—if it ever does. Leaks about the Galaxy Ring 2 have revealed that it will come with the traditional solid structure and multiple sizes.

Talking about the Galaxy Ring 2, a recent leak revealed a bit about the improvements that Samsung is preparing. According to the report, the next-gen wearable will offer more accurate measurements thanks to AI implementation and rearranged sensors. It could also be thinner and offer better battery life.
