A few phone manufacturers are developing AR glasses and Huawei is one of them. A pair of AR glasses with a feature found on phones has been patented by the Chinese manufacturer.
The patent for the AR glasses was recently approved by the China National Intellectual Property Office and sketches of the device have popped up online. The diagrams show that the AR glasses will have a motorized pop-up selfie camera similar to the one found in smartphones including those made by Huawei too, but it doesn’t stop there.
While the pop-up camera for most phones only serves as the front-facing camera, the one for Huawei’s AR glasses can rotate and also capture images from the left side and the rear of the wearer.
The patent’s documents also mention that there is an app that can be used to control the camera. You can use the app to activate the camera and also to change its direction. If you don’t need the camera anymore, you can turn it off via the app and it will slide back into the frame of the glasses.
There is no news yet regarding when Huawei will launch the AR glasses. There is even no guarantee it will end up as a commercial product. The company may decide to launch a pair of AR glasses with a different design entirely, so we advise you not to raise your hopes.
