Graphics cards manufacturer Nvidia applies for a patent for a holographic technology designed to be used in displays and headsets.

The patent application by Nvidia is first and foremost described as a Holographic Virtual Reality Display. While this doesn't distinguish immediately that it is indeed designed for use in headsets, the background of the technology and the detailed description reveal that is intended to be placeable on head-mounted displays. Of course, the most popular head-mounted displays in the consumer space are traditional VR devices, like the gaming-oriented Meta Quest headsets.
Nvidia's descriptions of the device specifically call the device a virtual reality display, which suggests that this is likely aimed for more than adding content on top of the users view. This also suggests that there might be more gaming related holographic purposes. Games are mentioned as possible form of entertainment consumed on the device, game controllers as an input device, and game consoles as a source of the displayed image. Unfortunately, the patent images don't give any indication of the products the technology is intended to be used in, as per usual.
