Microsoft Receives Patent for Project Glass

This sounds a lot like Déjà vu all over again. This week it was revealed that Microsoft has received a patent for its own version of augmented reality glasses called Project Glass. The patent was applied for way back in May 2011 and is similar to the better known Google’s Project Glass. It will be interesting to see what the response from Google will be.

This is simply work by Microsoft – the Research division we expect – that provides the company with a piece of intellectual property that may in the future either carve a space in a market for the company, or perhaps limit the ability of one of its competitors to innovate without facing litigation.
