Samsung has filed a patent with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a wearable device with a built-in projector, camera and processor that can project an interactive virtual display onto a user's hand, arm or other surface. Thus, accurately receiving touch input through a display screen or touch panel of a wearable device can be difficult because a user's finger can be larger than a selection area on the screen, causing the user to accidentally select an incorrect icon or other displayed item," explains the patent. The patent, which was first spotted by Patently Apple, describes how the projector could be used to show information about current events in real time, such as weather forecasts, stock prices, sports scores and more.
