As a matter of fact, VR headsets have been around since at least the late 80's/early 90's which are most *definately* "Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for projecting a source image in a head-mounted display apparatus for a user."

So yes, even if it was filed 6 years ago, that is still claiming existing tech as their own, but in an all encompassing patent that is vague enough to stop pretty much *any* development in the goggles area by anybody except apple.

And don't get me started on the 604 patent which claims pretty much all search engines as infringing it, even those created before it was filed!

Somebody needs to kick the US patents office up the back side for granting these completely uninnovative pieces of paper which lawyers can so readily turn into pay cheques.
