[wraggster]

Google has snapped up a parcel of patents from Hon Hai Precision Industry (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/23/google_buys_foxconn_display_patents/), the Taiwanese electronic manufacturer more commonly known as Foxconn, in a move seemingly designed to bolster its Glass headsets against potential competitors. In a statement obtained by The Wall Street Journal, Hon Hai described the patents sold to the Chocolate Factory as 'Head Mounted Technology' that can create virtual images 'superimposed on a real-world view.'
