Smartwatches are becoming increasingly popular and innovative by the day, even though some may still feel they are unnecessary.

Samsung hopes to shine a little light on their importance with a brand new a feature that will set their smartwatches apart from the rest. Intrigued? Read on.

 

According to a recent patent application filed by Samsung, the tech giant is working on a smartwatch with a built-in projector on it’s side. The device would then project a screen onto the users hand or arm which could be used instead of a touch screen on the watch itself. Many people feel that one of the biggest problems with smartwatches are their minuscule touch-screens, and now it seems as though Samsung may have found the way forward.

And it’s not only numbers and letters that will be projected, the screen offers dual-screen imaging which means you can look at two things at the same time, thanks to the projected screen (see below on the right).
