In the race to increase how interconnected we are with technology, Samsung like Google has patented a product of eyewear... well eyeball wear. This product is not necessarily a guarantee of something that will be built. It just further illustrates the leaps and direction that AR could have.  It's an exciting future of interaction design and overall user experience in how we could possibly unlock multiple types of information and how people interact is incredible.
