Looks like 3D is really big this year, what with the success of Avatar alongside 3D HDTVs and even a 3D portable gaming console from Nintendo being announced, it looks set to be a money spinner for whichever company that throws their weight behind this technology. Apple is up next, having a patent application for a “Head-Mounted Display Apparatus For Retaining a Portable Electronic Device With Display” that was filed way back in August 2008, where they are looking into the possibility of a wearable display which is capable of streaming A/V content from a pocketable device (let’s see now, who would bet against the iPod or iPhone?) sans wires, all the while boasting “stereoscopic imaging”. When used in conjunction with an integrated camera, the glasses are able to recognize head movement so that you can perform hands-free navigation. What do you think?
