Microsoft applies for glasses-based AR multiplayer gaming patent
The application describes sending verbal invitations for multiplayer games via a "head-mounted display device." It also mentions facial recognition, eye-tracking, depth-of-field, and user-specific information display technologies.
Concept art for glasses-based AR was shown in June in a previously leaked document concerning the Xbox One. Microsoft also filed a patent last November for a head-mounted display that augments scenarios like live sporting events. Considering the IllumiRoom project and the Xbox One's mandatory Kinect, developers interested in Microsoft's hardware might have a few more tools to work with than just a standard controller.

phlegm_Bale Glasses for gaming??? This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard
I agree. They are trying too hard to be futuristic. Nobody wants to play video games with their eyes.
True, i'm getting real tired of companies all trying to do this, really annoying in my opinion.

Hmmm I don't really know how to go about this other than we'll have to wait and see how this turns out. This could either be a win or a flop.

The concept seems somewhat interesting, but I don't think it would go all too well. The glasses concept should remain with Google.
