Today the US Patent & Trademark Office published two patent updates from Apple. The first covers a future interactive vehicle heads-up display that a user could use in-air gestures to control various interfaces, including games, in autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. The second patent relates to the use of Virtual Paper in AR/VR environments, giving virtual paper many dimensions beyond real world paper.

Today the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially granted Apple a patent that relates to the future use of Virtual Paper on devices that will be able to crumple, flip, fold, bend while keeping the graphics intact in varying positions as the virtual paper changes angles and perspectives. Virtual paper could include mixed reality content in 2D, 3D and animation where the image could be constantly shifting depending on a particular state that it's in. This is pretty cool stuff that's now in-the-works.
