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."

You dont understand! Apple is using TWO displays, unlike the one used by the military in helicopters. TWO! Clearly patent worthy.

Has some limitations though

It only works on people with heads that have rounded corners.
