Tech manufacturers are toying with all sorts of new ways we can interact with hardware, software and the real world. And now, according to a recently surfaced Microsoft patent, the company could be looking into reinvigorating the gaming space with displays built into eyewear and helmets.
Microsoft’s system, a virtual image projector, could be built into helmets, goggles, and other types of eyewear. It would involve two different images, one projected in front of each eye, providing a stereoscopic 3D experience.
The projectors would be partially transparent, so you could play a game while still seeing a semblance of your natural environment. Alternately, a game could merge the real world with a virtual world beamed in front of your retinas.
