Apple looking into mirror finish and charging stand for mixed reality headsets

According to a newly granted patent application, Apple is working on a one-way mirror treatment, wireless charging system and charging stand for headphone devices.

##First spotted in a patent filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office simply titled "Display System,"

Apple

outlines how to An induction coil placed within the headband wirelessly charges the head-mounted display device.

Apple explains how the headset’s adjustable headband contains a number of spaced receiving coils that connect to the device’s power storage, or battery. The headband continues to work as expected and is adjustable on the left and right sides to comfortably support the display unit in front of the user. Apple also describes a separate charging mode that would allow wireless charging even if the user is wearing the headphones.
The patent describes a "power device" that accompanies the headphones, including a base connected to the transmission coil. In some embodiments, the power supply unit is a charging stand from which the headphones hang by its headband, while in other embodiments it is a flat charging base for simply placing the headphones on.

###Apple stated that "the head-mounted display and the power supply device are configured together to align the transmitting coil" for charging, avoiding the need for users to manually carefully align the charging coil. This might just have to do with the layout of the charging system, like the stand configuration, but it might even extend to a MagSafe-like alignment system. ######In another patent application granted earlier this week titled "Electronic device with infrared transparent one-way mirror," Apple describes how a head-mounted display device can have a mirror effect, such as some Sunglasses or ski goggles. The one-way mirror allows optical components in the interior area, such as cameras and infrared sensors, to function normally but is hidden from view by the reflective finish on the exterior of the headset. ###
