Motorola’s chunky HMD patent

motorola-phone-head-mounted-display.jpgGood grief.  We see a lot of unusual and innovative phone designs here at Pocket Picks.

Sleekly contoured handsets, foldable e-paper displays, holographic displays.. we’ve seen them all.  Few, though, have come with quite the “Eh?” factor as this patent from Motorola.

Look at it – it’s a mobile with a Head Mounted Display.  In fact, the mobile is the HMD.  You literally fold out either end of what looks like a pretty chunky candybar and wear it on your face like a low budget Star Trek character.

Who knows, maybe it could turn out to be an iPhone killer?
