Step aside Google Glass, here comes Samsung Gear Blink

Are you fascinated by the state-of-the-art Google Glass gadget? Well Samsung is currently working on its own rival, the Samsung Gear Blink (or Glass, which ever you prefer to call it) an amazing headset that could include a reality keyboard that will change the way you type forever!

The Samsung Gear Blink it’s literally quite similar to Google Glass, A small prism above one of your eyes for viewing your content and an earpiece for listening, but the Samsung Gear Blink is said to be so much better. Some rumours have brought up that the Gear Blink will look more like a blue tooth headset than like a pair of glasses, but with a display curving around and in front of your eye.

One of the most amazing features of the Samsung Gear Blink is the virtual keyboard that is projected onto your hands when viewed through the glasses; this makes it possible for you to type using your hands but literally in thin air! This addition definitely tops the Google Glass‘s idea of talking to your headset, imagine you’re at work, a shopping mall or just in a crowded area, do you really want people listening to your private text messages? It’s not an ideal situation, with the virtual reality keyboard you just have to worry about looking a bit strange. 

Apparently, according to some sources the Samsung Gear Blink will launch in March 2015, this is the same time the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be launched too, so prepared to be hit with double the amount of new technology!

With all these new wearable gadgets, it seems like we might all be wearing Google Glass or the Samsung Gear Blink sometime in the near future.
