Apple must have thousands of patents registered but only one will make you look like Geordie La Forge.

This is a new patent for a head mounted display - in order words - a pair of specs you can watch content on.

But these are unique in including an accelerometer and gyroscope so you can manipulate the image you are looking at, zoom in and out, and look around.

I wonder if motion sickness pills will be included with the specs?
