Apple's Work on Video Goggles Highlighted in Newly Granted Patent

[smizzle]

I'm more excited to see that they are bringing back the clickwheel!

Where's the iSnorkel?

 

[Tech198]

Holy nuts !!

Stop copy you Apple you...

What the heck than this thing be now..... These VR headsets look "cool" (there's that magic word again), but serves no real purpose in today's reality, or even future reality..

Does Apple actually think this VR will take off in 5 years time ?? lol...

Ya, good luck with that...... While Apple continues to file for more patents than a house has bricks, i'll be merrily going strong on the Mac... Something, which I know will go somewhere....

This is just, picking out of the barrel that lucky number ..... One day, it may actually be a hit..

but till that happens..... keep trying,

Yikes! U-G-L-Y & HUGE

With the way Google Glass is shaping up, I can't see this total goggle approach taking off (thank god).

No way these are going to "move like hotcakes." Hopefully Apple perfects this wearable ASAP 'cause GoogleGlass will kill 'em.

This is Apple TV!

Do you actually think Apple is going to make TVs of various sizes, and people are going to just walk in and buy a huge box they cannot carry? If they do, will they do it as often as other iOS devices? This is the game changer if it's done right that we have been waiting for. An iOS based personal theater experience you can take with you anywhere!

Who the heck would wear them?

Well we are just a little over a year away from 2015:

And we STILL don't have hoverboards.

Though it's kinda creepy how close they came to predicting fashion trends in the 21st century. Just compare Future Biff's gang to pictures of Miley Cyrus...

Are you kidding? Glasses make you look like a dork. Especially Google Glasses. But these will make you look totally bad-ass! Although you might need a helmet, body armor and a rifle to complete the look.

An a fedora to wear over the helmet; you can't just forget the fedora.

 

[Tiger8]

iSee!

 

[FirstNTenderbit]

I'm just going to leave this here.

 

[JPSaltzman]

Yay! The iPod Classic lives on! Take THAT, you lightning-connector fans!

 

[Millah]

Imagine the kind of UI Apple could design on a product like this. It doesn't seem very likely, but man would it be cool.

 

[Marrakas]

How long until a lawsuit against oculus rift now then?

 

[brianvictor7]

This or bust.

LOL! Just LOL!

HA HA HA HA HA!!! Loved that!

 

[MCDELTAT]

Elegant, very elegant.

How long until a lawsuit against oculus rift now then?

with the conclusion of the Samsung case, it won't be long.

 

[KdParker]

3D Headsets with Kinect like motion sensors....I feel like we are at the cusp of a brand new addiction.

 

[testcard]

Small, lightweight and discreet. If you're a frogman.

 

[Nickerbocker]

Gosh, those lips...

And that ear.

 

[Renzatic]

How long until a lawsuit against oculus rift now then?

God, I hope that doesn't happen.

Then again, this patent has so many priors, If Apple were to sue Oculus over it, it'd probably end up being found invalid.

If Apple were considering something like this as a flagship product the final result would obviously need a good deal of refinement before launch. I guess would be probably at minimum, 5 years off.

I love the idea of a full HUD system though. I think once people become accustomed to using devices like Glass, a desire for a fuller interface will grow, as well as a willingness to wear things that are a little (but not much) bigger.

Lots of brainstorming ideas here. Maybe have a multiouch band that you reach up to use ... or better yet, maybe use your iWatch to control it via bluetooth. Hmm. Wonder if I have stumbled on to something Apple might be working on.

If Apple does develop this product it would help push app support for Oculus Rift and Zeiss glasses.

Would be cool if these also worked for FPV flying.

 

[scott523]

This or bust.

LOL! That's exactly what I had in mind upon seeing this thread.

 

[guzhogi]

Maybe that's an early version of this:

 

[CandyNJ66]

You couldn't pay me enough to wear those crazy looking things! Haha, no way!!!
