Gaming helmets and glasses are on the cards for Microsoft, according to patent applications recently published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.<\/p>\n

The devices are meant for use with Microsoft\u2019s Xbox and Windows Phone platforms reported news site PatentBolt.<\/p>\n

The first device is an \u201caviation-type\u201d helmet aimed at Xbox gamers, while the second looks like a pair of large sunglasses and can be used with Windows Phone smartphones as well as future devices.<\/p>\n

Microsoft claims a compact display system can be integrated into the two devices, allowing the wearer to view media from a computer or other electronic devices.<\/p>\n

Since the human eye can only focus on images more than a few centimetres away, the device will virtually project images that can be viewed by the wearer.<\/p>\n
