<\/a> Apple's got the patent office working overtime again<\/a>, this time with an application for a 3D display that rotates objects based on the relative position of the user.<\/p>

According to the filing dug up by MacRumors<\/a>, Apple's trying to bring a little hyper-reality to your monitor. Instead of using a keyboard or a click to move a 3D object, you'd simply have to move your head to manipulate the image. It sounds similar in concept to Johnny Chung Lee's heroic Wiimote hack<\/a> that effectively turned your head into a mouse, though nothing in the Apple patent suggests you'd have to wear a sensor. Instead, a mounted camera would track your movements, and possibly also the environment around you.<\/p>

The patent application also proposes incorporating the technology into 2D functions—like layering open applications—to provide a more intuitive, hands-free interface with your display for everyday tasks as well.<\/p>

<\/a><\/p>

This isn't the first time Steve Jobs has explored a 3D solution<\/a>, but with recent advancements like Natal<\/a> and MIT's bidirectional display<\/a>, it's more probable than ever that we'll see this—or something like it—come to fruition. [Apple Patent<\/a> via MacRumors<\/a>]<\/p>
