We're pretty sure this isn't an April Fool's joke, and we're pretty sure that it could be. Essentially an iPhone dock that sits on your face like a pair of glasses, "Head-Mounted Display Apparatus for Retaining a Portable Electronic Device with Display" details a headset that contains a stereo display and either a camera or a window for your phone's camera. Also included in the patent application is a microphone, speaker, batteries, and an accelerometer for detecting the user's head movements. Something like this would be great for augmented reality applications -- and something like this would make ever getting a date that much more difficult. We'll let you know if this one ever makes it past the drawing board, folks.
Trying to blind people now?
Where do they find these patents? Anyway, this reminds me of the Virtual Boy.
By god, Lady GaGa will love these!
No officer, I'm not drunk. I was just trying to play Firefighter 360 with my iVizor. I hit your car because it said you were on fire. But the good news is that I put it out!
Oh wow how innovative and inventive of Apple. They've discovered the head set mounted display. ... I bet this was a major epiphany for Jobs. Anybody from here on in using a head set is stealing Apples' IP which it will defend vigorously and sue someone other than the actual offender for!
IMHO, it is a BAD IDEA. Give me a chance to explain. While you may think the possibility might be remote, there will be someone who would not think twice about using this WHILE DRIVING A CAR or TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET.
