This Yahoo patent from a few years before seems very similar to this concept: http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2F

Do notice the Apple logo on the side of one of the sketches:

And the talk of virtual reality games (without actually building them):
A virtual World Of Warcraft-type overlay can be generated that is superimposed on the real world by wearable device instead of being viewed on a computer screen. According to the virtual overlay, user can be enabled to play in the real world, but be fighting virtual characters.

- kenrikm 12y agoPrior patents in the area are one of the main reasons (aside from funding) I think Oculus hooked up with Facebook. They were in a position to get squashed under the past 20 years of VR patents and endless lawsuits. At least now the trolls will know the trial is going to be massively expensive and will be fought to the death.
