Apple iSpecs 3D Projection Glasses A Real Product?
Apple could soon be venturing into the world of 3D, after they filed a patent application for electronic spectacles that would show films on the move. The head-mounted gadget would have a slot for an Apple iPhone or iPod. A special ‘smart’ lens in the device, nicknamed iSpecs by gadget fans, would project the images from the screen so they could be viewed comfortably. The lens would be able to split the image into two different frames creating a 3D effect. This could be used to watch blockbusters such as Avatar and Alice in Wonderland.
The patent plans were submitted by Apple in August 2008, but were so outlandish they were dismissed as an April Fool’s joke when they were published by the company on April 1. Now technology bloggers believe the plans are genuine as the US Patent and Technology Office are unlikely to have agreed to be part of a hoax.
