Microsoft may be working on a pair of augmented reality glasses for Xbox gaming, according to a patent application published last week.
In an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office, dated 1 August 2013, Microsoft describes “a system and related methods for inviting a potential player to participate in a multiplayer game via a user head-mounted display device”.
The device would be able to receive eye-tracking information, depth information, facial recognition information, potential player head-mounted display device information, and/or potential player voice data, according to the document.
Users would be able to invite each other to play using voice commands, and each device would be linked to the user’s player account, allowing them to keep a record of their games. Players could also link their accounts together to form teams.
