think back those old silhouette iPod adds that were soooo cool ? I ca n’t await to see how marketing sell these babies—3D television glasses with a HUD — from Apple .
According to a patent of invention app for a “ Head - Mounted Display Apparatus For Retaining a Portable Electronic machine With Display ” filed in August of 2008 , Apple is at least research the possibility of video specs — a wearable display that would pelt A / quintuplet content from a pocketable gimmick ( like an iPod or iPhone ) wirelessly , that would corroborate “ stereoscopic tomography ” and that could be equip with lens coupled with “ mirrors , diffusers , eye , laser or any other suitable optical constituent ” to create an actual HUD . couple with an integrated camera , the glasses can realise head movement , allowing you to do a bit of navigation hand - detached .
However , from our skim of the patent app , the glasses could be something as simple as a heading mount for an iPod , too . It ’s a pretty impenetrable , talkative written document that leaves a net ton of wiggle room .
Yes , it ’s April 1st . But AppleInsider , whobrokethe taradiddle , assures us that the filing is legit ( and we spot the actual filing , which would be an epic prank indeed , at another source ) .
The Holy Grail of dorkdom may be within our reach . [ FreePatentsOnlineviaAppleInsider ]
