This invention describes a compact augmented reality system designed to fit on a desktop, using a regular computer monitor as its screen. It creates an AR experience by combining real-world views with computer graphics via a partially transparent mirror, while tracking the user's head and hands to provide both visual and touch feedback. The system can also orient text correctly and, in some versions, includes 3D sound.
Why it matters: Filed before modern tracking sensors and high-resolution monitors were commonplace. Today, standard displays offer much higher pixel density, and compact, accurate head and hand tracking is readily available, making the original cost and performance goals more achievable.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
