Hrmpf reports on an interesting new patent application from Apple published today. "Head Mounted Display System" describes a method for display images within a goggle-like headset that is worn by the user.

What caught my attention the most though was this part of the article. I couldn't help but imagine Steve Jobs and Jim Jannard collaborating on a pair of Oakley branded sunglasses that double as iPod video goggle displays.
"Apple notes that when the unit is not being used for playing video "no images are being created and thus the display unit acts just like glasses." In fact, they suggest that the headset could even include lenses and actually double as daily-wear glasses."
Maybe one day these Apple/Oakley Video Sunglasses could be 5k and plug right in to my new EPIC for head-mounted monitoring.
Imagine that!
