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.

Great news, hopefully it'll be something like the Oculus Rift device. I don't know why people don't want this. This is great technology it's not like gaming is gonna switch to this completely/thoroughly.

OasisWagering Great idea, but a loooong development process..
Not really, Google is about a year or two from a possible launch.
The downside is the price, wrap around cinema experience style glasses can be 500 GBP or more.
Yeah it's a pretty hefty price
