Samsung patents AR glasses that adjust image size based on what you see

Samsung describes a wearable device that uses sensors to track your head tilt and eye direction. It then calculates where to place virtual images in your field of view, adjusting their size and position based on the objects detected in the scene.

Why it mattersThis filing suggests Samsung is refining how augmented reality content aligns with real-world objects, which could make future smart glasses feel more natural to use.

In the filing’s own words

A wearable electronic device is provided. The wearable electronic device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, memory, including one or more storage media, storing instructions and one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the wearable electronic device to obtain, through the first sensor, a first sensing value indicating an angle at which the wearable electronic device is tilted, identify, through the second sensor, a line of sight of a user wearing the wearable electronic device, based on the first sensing value and the line or sight, identify a virtual first region corresponding to a three-dimensional space to display a first image stored in the memory as first augmented reality image, wherein the first area corresponds to the user's field of view, identify a resolution of the first image and at least one object included in the first image, based on the at least one object and the resolution, identify a position at which a first augmented reality image is to be displayed and a size of the first augmented reality image, in the virtual first position, wherein the position is identified based on a first position based on a first axial direction and a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axis direction in the first area, and a second position based on a third axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction and the second axial direction in the first virtual region, and wherein the third axial direction is a direction oriented toward the virtual first area and away from the wearable electronic device, and display, through the display, the first augmented reality image of the size at the position in the virtual first region.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A wearable electronic device comprising: a first sensor; a second sensor; memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; a display; and one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the wearable electronic device to: obtain, through the first sensor, a first sensing value indicating an angle at which the wearable electronic device is tilted, identify, through the second sensor, a line of sight of a user wearing the wearable electronic device, based on the first sensing value and the line of sight, identify a virtual first region corresponding to a three-dimensional space to display a first image stored in the memory as a first augmented reality image, wherein the virtual first region corresponds to the user's field of view, identify a resolution of the first image and at least one object included in the first image, based on the at least one object and the resolution, identify a position at which the first augmented reality image is to be displayed and a size of the first augmented reality image, in the virtual first region, wherein the position is identified based on a first position based on a first axis direction and a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis direction in the virtual first region, and a second position based on a third axis direction perpendicular to the first axis direction and the second axis direction in the virtual first region, and wherein the third axis direction indicates a direction toward the virtual first region and away from the wearable electronic device, and display, through the display, the first augmented reality image of the size at the position in the virtual first region.
