Two patent figures.
Figure one: A person wearing a VR headset. A second person looking at them with “?!” in a thought bubble above their head.
Figure two: The same two people, but the VR headset now shows the wearer’s eyes. The other person’s thought bubble is a smiling emoticon.

@samhenrigold The emotional arc here is riveting. He doesn’t just think a happy face, he comes CLOSER too.

Two figures, one wearing a VR headset. The other looks at them with a thought bubble reading "?!!"

Wow, they've already locked in the valuable Sir Patrick Stewart endorsement!

@samhenrigold This is so insane.

STOP DOING VR IN PUBLIC

My face was never meant to be used to display the weather!

Hilariously bad patent drawings for Apple's VR headset. There are six faces wearing a very square VR headset in a 2 by 3 grid (horizontal x vertical). In order from top to bottom, left to right the displayed images are: Three hearts, an electrocardiogram, a grid 45° off of square, the weather (72° and cloudy), a beach and finally the text "DO NOT DISTURB".

@samhenrigold That patent-drawing format showing a smiling thought cloud can't be real. 😆
But many things today that seem silly are real.
