Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to a possible future iMac that includes projectors on the rear wall or other portions of the device that may project images onto nearby surfaces. Sensors such as gaze detection sensors, three-dimensional image sensors, cameras, and other components may operate through housing walls.
Apple continues to explore ways of extending or improving the iMac, this time by working on integrated technology to extend the user's screen by projecting displays onto nearby surfaces such as walls.
