Huawei seems to be experimenting with new ideas for future AR/VR wearables. A latest patent listing in China reveals that the tech giant is working on a smart glass with a removable strap design. The interesting part of the patent is that the strap can be converted to a smart ring. Instead of carrying an extra remote, users could pull the ring out from the glasses and control apps, games, or interfaces with hand gestures.

Huawei is trying new ideas for its future AR/VR glasses

The patent (CN120871434A) filed with China’s National Intellectual Property Administration describes glasses with a thin band tucked into the frame. When needed, the band or strip can slide out and wrap around the fingers, just like a smart ring. After converting it to a ring, the user can swipe, tap, point, and perform gesture-based actions.

Moreover, to back these interactions, the design includes wireless connectivity, motion-tracking sensors, and magnets to lock the ring into place when snapped back onto the glasses. The strap also charges automatically when attached to the main module. The idea is to support complex gestures during immersive experiences. And still offer simple touch controls when the ring is docked

Huawei aims for a more “natural” experience with its AR wearables

Huawei wants its users not to rely on smartphones or handheld controls. It aims for a more natural and hands-free experience. The listing also notes support for actions like navigating virtual menus, controlling media, and using subtle finger motions without needing to hold anything. The main target behind this idea appears to be comfort and simplicity.

While the idea of an AR/VR wearable with a strap that could turn into a smart ring appears interesting, it’s worth noting that it is still a patent-stage concept. If Huawei moves ahead with this, it could bring a more compact and intuitive control method to smart glasses. It also shows how AR hardware can evolve beyond traditional controls.
