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.

Wagering 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.

-Amped Well, this seems a little stupid. Why would you waste the money on glasses that allow you to play games. Seems a little stupid.
They are trying to improve the future of gaming. It might seem a little stupid now but they could eventually turn it into something completely awesome. Gaming can't and won't stay the same forever so possibly in the future buying those glasses would not be a waste but an amazing new experience instead..

This sounds really cool but I wouldn't want to use anything like it until they've perfected it.
