How in the FLYING **** do they think they can get a patent for an AR display? The patent is for "A system and method to present a user wearing a head mounted display with supplemental information when viewing a live event". As opposed to a non-live event? The whole point of AR is to overlay information over the real world (i.e. 'live'). I bloody hope this application gets rejected, because it is neither new or novel in the slightest.

I feel I ought to elaborate on my comment now!

The idea of having the extra overlay at a sports event is pretty cool. AR replays!

The Nokia 920 WindowsPhone8 has a brilliant augmented mapping system already.

Can they demonstrate a functional prototype that actually works as the patent states? If not, the patent should not have been approved.

patent to stop any and all from doing the same, non-invention and has been seen in movies for years, so how is this unique and noval? can i go get a patent for walking pls. with "walking" the user can be transported to any location on the planet in real-world ways.

Clever lawyers suing the hell out of each other and they can't even think about patenting, as others have said an idea that's been around for decades.

Sounds Watchdogs demo, where the player gets all the info on people in his view above the actual person.
