Display&#8221;. The filing was only just made public today.<\/p>\n<p>This latest patent deals with eye tracking &#8211; mainly through 3D glasses &#8211; and how it can enhance gameplay.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the patent abstract:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The exemplary illustrative non-limiting technology herein enables 3D viewing on conventional 2D displays such as home television sets by tracking a person&#8217;s viewpoint. Detecting a player&#8217;s viewpoint movement to change the viewing of the displayed object gives the illusion that the object is physically present in three-dimensional space. Viewpoint movement detection can provide collision-related game logic benefits such as allowing a player to dodge projectiles, giving a game character an ability to &#8220;see&#8221; the player when not behind line-of-sight obstacles, and other advantages.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out the gallery above for images from the filing.
