Overview
- Android Authority found a “ring gesture for glasses” string in the latest Galaxy Ring Manager app, suggesting planned smart‑glasses integration.
- Samsung has confirmed it is developing Android XR glasses in collaboration with Google, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster.
- Reports indicate the Galaxy Ring could use gestures like a double‑pinch to select or confirm actions on future glasses and potentially assist the Galaxy XR headset.
- The Galaxy XR headset already tracks hands with multiple cameras, while the first glasses are expected to ship without such cameras, creating a role for ring‑based input.
- Industry reporting points to non‑AR fashion‑focused glasses in 2026 and AR‑capable hardware in 2027, with existing Ring phone controls and a Samsung patent supporting cross‑device use.
