Another recent technology news announcement was made by Samsung. While predictions are being made about Apple creating one of these wearable devices, only Samsung has officially confirmed that a smart watch is indeed in the works and that it will be releasing them in the future.
For LG, this technology news is regarding to more of a re-entry into the race toward a smart watch than actually taking its first steps.

That has yet to be confirmed by the company.
At the same time as the technology news report regarding the smart watch, it was also revealed that LG is attempting to maintain its competitiveness by working on augmented reality glasses, as well. There are already a number of major players in that market, as well, with Google Glass being among the most hyped.
