Apple Wins Patent For Head-Mounted Display Tech

redletterdave writes "It appears that Google is no longer alone in exploring the realm of wearable tech solutions. Apple was granted a patent on Thursday in relation to 'peripheral treatment for head-mounted displays.' While Google Glass places a piece of smartglass right above the user's eye, Apple's solution uses two peripheral lights to show two different images to each eye 'to create an enhanced viewing experience for the user.' Apple's patent also attempts to address the biggest problems with head-mounted displays (HMDs), particularly tunnel vision and motion sickness."

Hey, I just applied for a patent for using THREE displays!!!

NOW THAT'S INNOVATION !!!

Trying different approaches that yield different pros and cons... yes, that it is exactly what innovation is. Thanks for explaining how patents actually do spur innovation, even though that was completely unintentional.
