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.

Tea For this to be a success the glasses would have to basically have the entire video of the game on them, as I don't see why else you would want them for a game, but if it did, the battery life would be extremely bad, or it'd have to be plugged in so I can't see this working in the near future. Then there's how do you even get the video from the console to the glasses.
I know Google glass is portable but that doesn't stream HD video from a game at 60fps possibly for hours so the battery life isn't drained super quickly.
Oculus Rift is better imo.

Cokesvar This is pretty interesting. I wonder if they will go through with this.
They most likely will because it should make money.
Maybe. It may be costly. And with the xbox one being released I don't think people will want to spend another $500+
