Microsoft is working on its version of AR-points

According to the US Patent Office, Microsoft has applied for a "head-based glasses display with the possibility of superimposing additional information on the real-world display." Simply put, Microsoft is preparing a competitor to Google’s Project Glass , which already exist as a functional prototype.

In general, they will work only in a specific context and this should help users with mastering such an unusual technology. In addition, the Microsoft patent applies only to "live" events and it is assumed that the glasses will show exactly static information, without being tied to objects in sight.

Most likely, such head-mounted displays can be connected with the company's current entertainment products, the same Xbox and Kinect, and receive information from the games directly to them. But so far it is only a patent (the filing date dates back to May 2011) and even if it comes to living devices, they will be available for sale only in two or three years.
