Snow Crash ‘Gargoyle’ wearable computer rig (1992)

• id: snow-crash-gargoyle-rig
• corpus: fictional
• form factor: glasses
• creator: Neal Stephenson
• disclosure: Stephenson, Neal. Snow Crash. Bantam Books, 1992 — the ‘gargoyles’: people wearing head-mounted display goggles, body-worn computers, and continuous-capture sensors, with voice query and head tracking.
• ip status: fictional
• sensors: sensor-camera-rgb, sensor-microphone-air, sensor-accelerometer

• prior art notes: Discloses an integrated head-worn AR rig: near-eye display goggles + body-worn processor + always-on cameras and microphones + head-tracking, with voice queries against a networked database and continuous capture/upload of the wearer’s surroundings. Relevant to AR-glasses claims combining ‘a near-eye display’, ‘an outward-facing camera’, ‘an inertial sensor for head pose’, ‘a microphone for voice input’, and ‘continuous data capture/transmission’. § 103 motivation that the always-on capture-and-query AR wearable was a concrete objective by 1992. Non-enabling; pair with enabling HMD/SLAM art.

• id: ready-player-one-haptic-suit
• corpus: fictional
• form factor: garment
• creator: Ernest Cline
• disclosure: Cline, Ernest. Ready Player One. Crown Publishers, 2011 — a head-mounted VR visor plus a full-body haptic-feedback suit (with haptic gloves and boots) that renders touch sensations across the wearer’s body and tracks body motion for immersive virtual presence.
• ip status: fictional
• sensors: sensor-accelerometer, sensor-gyroscope
• prior art notes: Discloses an integrated VR rig: a near-eye display visor plus a full-body garment with distributed haptic actuators and distributed motion sensors, providing whole-body force/tactile feedback registered to a virtual environment and capturing the wearer’s posture and gestures. Relevant to haptic-garment claims combining ‘a body-worn garment’, ‘an array of haptic actuators at multiple body sites’, ‘motion sensors capturing body pose’, and ‘coupling to a head-mounted display’. § 103 motivation that the full-body haptic VR suit was an articulated objective by 2011.

• ip status: fictional
• sensors: sensor-camera-rgb, sensor-accelerometer, sensor-microphone-air
• algorithms: algo-emotion-recognition
• prior art notes: Discloses a smart full-body garment integrating: an in-mask near-eye HUD; a conversational AI assistant resident in the suit; distributed suit sensors and environmental analysis (object/person identification, threat assessment); biometric monitoring of the wearer (HR, respiration, stress); and reconfigurable actuator/output settings. Relevant to smart-garment and helmet-HUD claims combining ‘a body-worn garment with distributed sensors’, ‘a head-mounted display presenting environmental and physiological data’, ‘a voice AI’, and ‘wearer biometric monitoring’. § 103 motivation that the integrated sensing/HUD/AI body suit was an articulated objective by 2017.
