Facebook reveals more details on AR glasses in new patent
We may still be years away from Facebook's augmented reality glasses becoming an actual product, but we now know a little more about how they might work.
A new patent filing reveals additional details about Facebook's AR glasses, including how they might handle audio. The patent, originally filed in January but published Thursday, describes a "cartilage conduction audio system for eyewear devices."

Using sensors, as well as those that sit inside the ear, the glasses would be able to project sound into your ear while also allowing you to hear ambient noise around you.
