Samsung Galaxy Glass Patent Plans To Turn Fingers Into a Keyboard 63
rjmarvin writes "Samsung looks to have found a way around voice commands for smart glasses by projecting an augmented reality keyboard onto users' hands. Galaxy Glass wearers' thumbs are used as input devices, tapping different areas of their fingers where various keys are virtually mapped. According to the August 2013 patent filing with the WIPO and South Korea's Intellectual Property Office, Samsung states that voice controls are too imprecise a technology, which are too heavily impacted by the noise levels of the surrounding environment."

It is at least a kinda clever idea, unlike many patents we hear about on /.

It is not a case of prior art for the same reason as it is not a banana. It is not a laser projection keyboard. You did not read the article.
