Apple Patents Augmented Reality Displays
Surely January 6, 2010, is rather late in the day to be trying to patent a transparent screen with overlaid AR graphics? There must be loads of prior art.
Interestingly, Apple have agreed to pay Nokia €8 per iPhone (equating to 4.8% revenue, totalling €700m up to June 2011) for touchscreen patent infringement; technology that Steve Jobs had said they had protected when the iPhone was first announced. Read the Apple AR patent application.
