The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a series of 25 new patents for Apple this week.
Patently Apple writes about one in particular, “that touches on advancing television, advanced 5D technology, interactive gaming, teleconferencing, advanced tactile feedback technology, virtual reality data gloves and even a unique touch signature for starting a future vehicle.”
Apple acquired the patent “years ago” from Canadian inventor Timothy Pryor. “Apple’s granted patent is a sweeping patent covering the widest range of applications that I’ve ever seen,” writes Jack Purcher in the report.
Purcher provides interesting details, highlighting 14 potential advantages of the patent for Apple, further noting that it could lead the way to developments involving the long-rumored Apple TV.
“Much of Apple’s newly granted patent focuses on projection TV technology and applications,” he writes. “Yet the patent makes it clear that the ‘concepts, while they’ve been shown in the context of a rear projection display device… are really quite usable in the context of the invention with any sort of display device.'”
Purcher also notes Wii or Kinect-like gaming capabilities as well as virtual reality and simulation using the invention.
