April 19, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): Apple has launched a copyright application for electronic video spectacles that will permit wearers to gaze at films in 3D on the inside of the glasses. The admirers have already dubbed the device as iSpecs.

Utilizers would fasten their iPhone, iPod, or any other device to the spectacles. These spectacles possess a unique lens that can divide the image into two frames –one for each eye — and then project the picture onto the spectacles. The two pictures would construct a stereoscopic effect since they would seem to have been taken from somewhat dissimilar angles. This would imitate 3D.

In keeping with the copyright application, the imagery would be corresponding to high definition in quality. Sensors inside the spectacles would perceive the exact place of the wearer’s eyes to make certain that the image is projected at just the right place and is comfortable to gaze at. The device could be restrained by the wearer’s head movements, such as nodding or head shuddering, or by voice control. Sound would be supplied by earphones built-in into the device. To augment the screening experience, the spectacles could even pulsate in response to content such as detonations.

The spectacles would also include a diminutive camera and infrared sensors implanted in the frames. The endeavor of this system is to make people feel more contented about wearing the glasses in public, such as during airplane, train, or bus trips.

There are already a few video glasses that can be plugged up into an iPod to permit viewers to stare at films, but none present 3-D viewing or high-class images. Another shortcoming of the previous gadgets is that the wearers are incapable of witnessing what is occurring around them, which makes them unenthusiastic to sport them publicly.

Some have alleged that the copyright application is a ruse because information of it was published on the Web on April 1st, but the US Patent and Trademark Office is not likely to be implicated in a ruse. Apple never remarks on copyright applications.
