Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to a possible future Mixed Reality Headset with back-to-back displays. The internal display allows the user to view mixed reality content whereas the external display may display viewable images that the public could view – including being able to see a virtual face of the HMD wearer. Apple s granted patent also covers adjustable lenses to accommodate user vision defects.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 43 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today. In this particular report we briefly cover Apple s technology in regards to their future headsets (VR, MR, Glasses) with a Direct Retinal Projector System and Reflective Holographic Combiner and more. And as always, we wrap up this week s granted patent report with our traditional listing of the remaining granted patents that were issued to Apple today.
Apple is researching how "Apple Glass," or other future Apple AR devices, could skip tiny screens altogether, and instead use micro projectors to beam the images straight onto the wearer's retina.
