The two images would create a stereoscopic effect since they would appear to have been taken from slightly different angles, and this would simulate 3D.<\/p>\n<p>According to the patent application (<a href=\"http:\/\/appft1.uspto.gov\/netacgi\/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;p=1&amp;u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;co1=AND&amp;d=PG01&amp;s1=20100079356.PGNR.&amp;OS=DN\/20100079356&amp;RS=DN\/20100079356\">number 20100079356<\/a>) the images would be equivalent to high definition in quality, and sensors inside the spectacles would detect the precise location of the wearer\u2019s eyes to ensure the image is projected at exactly the right place and is comfortable to watch.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com\/7265\/\" \/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?host=davidkirkpatrick.wordpress.com&#038;blog=2464417&#038;post=7265&#038;subd=davidkirkpatrick&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; is already giving me a headache.
