Monitorless Is A Samsung AR Headset That Lets You Use PCs Without A Screen

The electronics giant revealed this concept today ahead of a showcase at the 2017 Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona next week. Designed by the company’s Creative Lab, Monitorless uses a pair of glasses that connect to your smartphone, which in turn connects to your PC. The glasses can then be used to view the screen on either device as an AR overlay. In theory, you could use the headset to access your PC and smartphone without actually having them right next to you. You can see the headset in a video below.

Samsung claims the glasses also have VR functionality. Judging by the end of the video, this simply refers to how much of the real world you can see when using the device; a slider lets them completely black out the surrounding world (noted as VR), while moving further towards the AR end brings the world back into view and makes the display transparent.
